In my opinion the use of AJAX makes a lot of sense for the backend. Some 
other CMS even require you to install client-software! I think for 
proper backend-functionality one could easily dictate a current 
browser-version with javascript enabled to the user. We want the backend 
to be faster and more usable, and that can be achieved by making use of 
AJAX (and currently there is no alternative for browser-driven systems). 
One could even get rid of the frameset... but that's another cup of tea ;-)

For frontend-usage there is no need to use AJAX, unless your application 
requires it. So, it's up to you. For 99% of all standard-typo3-websites 
AJAX wouldn't be useful at all.

Cheers,
