A recent Forrester report asserts that Power Users of client-based business apps will be disappointed in AJAX except for "mash-ups."
Whether that's true or not, my snap reaction was that AJAX is mostly focused on allowing a relatively small number of facets/dimensions of a context to be combined in unexpected ways. If Power Users are mostly doing sophisticated analysis, then I would expect them to find AJAX-based apps to be of limited usefulness.
The small number of facets in an AJAX app and the simple/sparse controls limit sophistication and constrain analysis. This both a weakness and a strength...if you're doing Discovery/Exploration in a narrow context, then an AJAX app can be "just right."
