I've adopted this philosophy:

"Sit on the bank of a river and wait: Your enemy's corpse will 
soon float by."

I just sit and wait, and indeed Ajax and other technologies have 
been floating by ... Stick to what you know is good and don't 
jump on the latest bandwagon that happens to pass by. In terms of 
technology, you will save a lot of time, money and energy (no, I 
never "learned" Ajax:)
