I have another perspective on this. Rich UIs are good, but what I like about AJAX in addition to that somewhat peripheral concern (to me) is that it cooperates with the serverside and allows the serverside to be more efficient. The relationship between the server and the client in AJAX is what is most interesting and is what makes it so useful. There is a reason why the sites using AJAX, e.g. Google, do so. It is not because they are seeking, necessarily, any sort of rich clients. They are seeking robustness and usefulness. That is where AJAX is at, I think. All this other talk is fine, but it misses the main point of what makes AJAX interesting for Struts. The rich client stuff can be a dark hole for serverside discussions. AJAX is not.
