I've never liked chaining, and I hardly ever find a time when it's needed now:

* animations: CSS3

* templating: I don't do it, I prefer static pages and toggle sections with classes

* element filtering: better selectors (nth-child, nth-of-type, [data-stuff=''], etc)

* form serialization: either use event handlers and build it as you go or just use regular browser form handling

Currently, I use reqwest [1] for my HTTP requests. It's very small and is cross browser. In Dart, I just use the built-in libraries.
