I used ajax only for the things where it is absolutely necessary. This is in 
forms where you have a select with some options and selecting something changes 
the the form. This is for example in the large screenshot. There you have a 
select box to choose the interaction scheme. Selecting it display the selected 
scheme and you can edit immediately.

IMHO ajax is like most other technologies. If you don't have a good reason to 
use it then don't. Ajax is fine to make better dynamic UIs but at the same time 
it can make your web application very brittle. The scenario we have here is 
that there is a short way from browser to server. So loads go really quick and 
you can't tell it apart from an ajaxified application. 

So I decided to make not big use of AJAX.
