Hi Paul, I'm so used to doing things sans AjaxCFC for jQuery that I would probably stick with straight jQuery since its what I'm most accustomed to and I love having greater control over how things are handled.
But I'm very torn because Rob's done a GREAT job of abstracting jQuery via AjaxCFC and the functionality he's included such as serialization (js, json & wddx), logging, and CF-based error reporting really attractive. So I'd really have to evaluate things on a case by case basis. I don't think you can go wrong by using AjaxCFC, especially in the beginning where it may make using jQuery much easier for Ajax call manipulation. Remember that AjaxCFC isn't there to help you with UI controls or DOM manipulation. Its biggest feature is the ability to access CF data types easily and work with them during an XMLHttpRequest. You're still going to have to dig into the jQuery API in order to handle non-Ajax functionality. Rey...
