It makes creating a post-back minimizing site much easier, even if you want to use the yui toolkit. I like using Jquery's $.ajax functionality and the built in ability for your controller actions to return JSON data over the .Net ajax control toolkit stuff. Encosia.com also has some good posts about some templating solutions to use instead of the .Net stuff.

The FRM (Flake Retention Method) really works! He was very funny and extremely knowledgable. This was my first boot camp type experience and I cannot imagine how other instructors get their students through the volume of information and homework otherwise. All hail the Flake!

UI toolkit [http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/]? IMHO, that is the best scripting suite to build postback-minimized webapps. It beats aspnet ajax for the simple fact that you don't make binary references to System.Web.Extensions and are not subject to the version conflict that got introduced between VS2005 and VS2008. My process for using these within ASPNET is: layout Default.aspx using yui-grids, build Controller.aspx to expose an API into the business logic (yes, I create faux-MVC webapps) and then plug in the UI controls and Ajax calls with jQuery or yui. Now, you can write functional unit tests against the API exposed by Controller.aspx and pay someone to create the UI scripts to test Default.aspx. Joy!
