I'm sure this kind of response will spark righteous indignation on the part of every developer who has a clue on what's going on underneath MediaWiki's hood. Plus, lack of AJAX does not mean "low-tech", which you have so insinuated.
Better "low tech" than pumped full of AJAX all over the place. AJAX that's not been properly integrated, so we lock out blind people or those who don't have JavaScript because it doesn't degrade gracefully. AJAX that irritates the user causing them to disable said JavaScript. AJAX that hasn't been tested for security vulnerabilities. AJAX that's basically thrown into the software *for the sake of using a buzzword*.
