While reading this thread, I saw a few posts that are negative toward AJAX - from simple dislike to flat out hating it. I'm not trying to start a debate war here, but I'm curious about why some people don't like AJAX. Personally, I love it, and have had no problems with it. So for those who don't like it... why not?

I don't like it because it relies entirely on Javascript, which not everybody has enabled (by choice, quite often) and has wildly different implementations for each browser. Also, for those used to using the web, they expect that interacting with a component on a web page navigates to a new page and could be confused when seemingly nothing changes.
In principal, it's good, but with the reality of browsing and web users, I don't like it.--filburt1, vBulletin.org/vBulletinTemplates.com moderator

Been rewriting entire templates, too. Keeping the PHP files intact, though, as always.--filburt1, vBulletin.org/vBulletinTemplates.com moderator

Wait until WDF v5, Zach...I'm not even using the built-in CSS anymore but wrote my own replacement style sheets instead for total control.--filburt1, vBulletin.org/vBulletinTemplates.com moderator
