AJAX definitely has its place, but I think some people use it to the point that it has the opposite of the intended effect.
For example, online polls, instead of voting and getting taken to a page with a single line of text thanking you for the vote, you can use AJAX and have the user on the same page continuing with what they were doing.
Jason and Johannes; hello! Don't forget, there is a REAL BUSINESS CASE FOR SOME AJAX. It's more than just a fancy technique! Some executive dashboard reports take minutes to generate, and in those cases you want to modify data via ajax to avoid the nasty round-trip.
Ajax, Webservices as seen from the security point of view.

Then of course the dashboards and such.
