No harm in learning the ins and outs now, as undoubtedly the Adobe integration will hand feed the developer and when you need to something more advanced you will be pinging lists asking how (which of course is what lists are for)
An hour or so would familiarise you with Ajax development to a degree, you could see it as your "duty" to know at least the basics before you let Adobe make it all tag based and easy for you...

Hi, all.. Just wanted to throw this out for some perspective. For a few years I've been wanting to get in on the Ajax-style development. However, dealing with javascript was just going to take more time than I could spare and keep up with project demands, since I have no experience with it. Along comes jQuery, and it's straightforward enough that I can probably make it work without it becoming like a second job taking up so much time. But with CF 8 right around the corner, integrating Ajax into the tag code ( I hope ), working with Ajax development will become much easier and part of my CF 8 development instead of an add-on through a js library like jQuery. So the question, becomes... spend a lot of time now learning to implement jQuery and "Web 2.0" interfaces and functionality or wait for CF 8, see what it provides, and then just fill in any remaining gaps with "third-party" development? Thanks for the perspective...
