I've gotten in to Ajax, but would classify myself as a minor user. I 
only use it when I want to change something (text or images) without 
having to reload the entire page. As such, it helps in the GUI side 
of things -- but other than that, I have not had cause to dig much 
deeper.

I have also looked into jQuery, which is like Ajax on crack.

http://jquery.com/

Here's a couple of examples:

http://xn--ovg.com/thickbox

http://xn--ovg.com/dragdrop

My only reservation into those type of time investments is WILL the 
new <whatever> work across all browsers. I have enough problems just 
trying to get css to produce the same result on most browsers let 
alone load in a bunch of libraries and hope that they do.
