I just came across this presentation: http://domscripting.com/presentations/xtech2006/which describes a new layer/methodolgy on how ajax should be implemented.I personally would think implementing something like this would be a step forwardand we could then argue about if mochikit or dojo or yui

Frommy experience with TG and Django, which the TG side may be a bit dated, the only upper hand that TG may have is that 1) TG includes MochiKit and 2) in TG, you just change a decorator to get a jsonified object from a controller rather than HTML. As others have chimed in, including MochiKit is
