The AutoComplete widget is awesome! Check Ryan Grove's 150 slide deck covering its capabilities:

Yippee, I can finally start to really put this to use without dredging up YUI 2.x components for mundane things.

It beats me how they choose the order to implement stuff in. For example, somehow we have the Rich Text Editor and Data Table but they have not managed to implement the Button class yet?

Anthony Pipkin's Button widget in the Gallery is excellent -- http://yuilibrary.com/gallery/show/button

A lot of the decisions are driven by internal Yahoo! needs. For instance, the new Yahoo! Mail really needed Rich Text Editor, but they could build their own chrome around it, so we have a really basic RTE that works, if you can build the chrome for it.

Data Table is one thing that many people have been asking for on the forums and in IRC for a long time, but it's also really complex. My suspicion is that it was waiting on DataSource to reach a certain level of maturity before pushing forward to release.

The focus on YUI3 from the team has been on the Core, and it's a really good core. Really, this is the first release that they've really been able to focus on Widgets, as most of the core widgets prior to 3.3.0 seemed to be more proof of concept.

I can imagine using the new dial widget as on-screen thumbstick controls on a mobile device type game.
