I've been using it for a while to send client-side values to server-side for processing. That's tight stuff right there boy!

Ajax done bad is bad, ajax done well now that is an entirely different matter. Can ajax be done good? Just check out gmail or google maps. AJAX certainly enhances both applications.
Ajax touches upon a new concept and that is your web browser as a true application client or closer to that then ever before.
As with everything, there is a time to use it and a time when its not needed. But generally I think if you are creating an application, or a web component that a user will most likely use for and extended period of time. Then ajax can certainly make things interesting.
Ajax can also be used in very small ways, as i forementioned, maybe just to create a small widget.
Ajax didnt have potential, M$ wouldnt be creating Atlas
And all the short comings mentioned in that piece can be overcome depending on your intent. Trust me when I say javascript is a very powerful language. I however think that AJAX demands a different approach to web application development.
