Missing a bit of the point

We all know there are 4 basic parts of the SDLC story. These are design, development, test, and support. AJAX helps with design and development, but leaves test out in the cold. A big problem with AJAX (MS or not) is the gross lack of test tools. Hence, testing must be performed manually - a labor and time intensive process. Most of the companies that I have spoken with state that AJAX will not be used until there is a economic way of testing (and hence supporting) it.

Open-Source (nuf - said)

nuf said? hardly...

...open source products are sometimes superior to commercial offerings, sometimes not. It all depends on the team and the project, religious wars aside.
