AJAX makes the user experience much...well...cooler, faster, etc... It also opens up many new opportunities as it allows you to communicate with the server through a request without actually refresh the page at all. The possibilities are nearly endless.

Ajax is very useful. In terms of implementation I've found a framework like prototype or mootools can be helpful too, and can result in some very simple code.
