What the person is saying is that our (web developers) usage of this technology is immature, as well as the understanding of creating an accessible web site for those who have disabilities and need screen readers or other applications to browse the web. I will point out that most don't really design/develop for those with health conditions which inhibit surfing the web to its fullest capacity. We should not stop using AJAX, just implement techniques which do not hinder those that have special requirements for viewing web pages. There exists documentation that furthers the understanding, but isn't fully broadcast just yet. The technology behind AJAX is not new.

What would happen to that 10% who suddenly found the web to be a place in which they're no longer welcome? Who found that technology - the ultimate enabler - had become just another barrier?" I don't agree. There will always be people left out. Do we stop progress because of this? NO!! Look at the mess that is Microsoft Vista. Instead being able to create a totally modern OS, Microsoft's insistance on supporting older legacy application is causing headaches for it's current users. You either adapt to progress or you get left behind. It's that simple! His final summation:
