Just to chime in here in regards to the 'slow'/'bloatedness' of CF8's AJAX stuff...
a) Don't forget that JS is still very hard for a lot of people. The built in Ajax-based UI tags are simple as heck to use. For a lot of people these tools are the _only_ way they are going to do even remotely Ajax-y. b) Don't forget that Ajax support in CF isn't just about UI. Native JSON support, returnFormat, are killer improvements. I bring this up because a lot of people will just poopoo "CF8 Ajax" in general without making the distinction.
