ajaxCFC, CFAJAX and other CF-specific libraries provide a way to get native CF types returned into your client page without having to write the extra code yourself. For example, if I have a CFC that contains a method that returns a query, I can just use ajaxCFC to call the CF method from within my page and use the returned results in the callback; the results become available as a JS object. With some other toolkit libraries, you need to write extra code to translate from your return data to the format the library understands.
