Can you explain why you believe Cake/Auth is removing Username and Password? Can you boil this down to a very simple code example where a non ajax form submits all fields and your ajax form submits all fields minus the username and password?
I have designed many sites with Cake and never had such issues including using jQuery/AJAX to validate a form field by field including username and password (although you can't use the field password as Cake automatically hashes it - but that's no biggy). As for your argument that for an experienced developer who is very confident with PHP, MySQL, Flex etc, maybe using a framework is not the best option for you if you already have your own library of code ... it's a personal choice. For me who had taught myself PHP and a lot of bad habits CakePHP has been a steep learning curve that was well worth it. My coding now follows the MVC design pattern and is so much more efficient and maintainable. Other developers could instantly step into my shoes and support/develop my code. Don;t know if anyone can answer which of the many benefits cake offer's would suit you, you must have started looking at frameworks for a reason so your best placed to know if a framework has made your life any better. Personally if I were you I would stick with it till you become more familiar with all of the features as I am yet to see one person in the community come out and say I have given Cake a good go and I'm going back to my own PHP and there are a lot of developers in the community. Those who do slate Cake tend to be favouring another framework from what I have seen. Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
