Speaking at the VSLive conference, Russ Nemhauser described one of the major problems with AJAX development is complexity:
"I find it challenging enough to keep up with the technologies I have to keep up with, let alone to have to deal with manual creation of event handlers, messaging, client-side script, etc.," he said, speaking of tasks he would have to perform to do AJAX development from scratch.
Nemhauser said Atlas provides all the functionality of AJAX; it greatly reduces complexity; and it "brings true object-oriented development to the client."
