It isn’t a joke. They’ve got their work cut out for them though.

“Make ASP.NET Ajax the first-class choice for all Web 2.0 developers” That’s a joke…right??

One thing to note is that they pretty much have drag and drop, OpenAjax hub suppport, some CSS selector, Animation support, among other things discussed in that document. They’re all strewn about and they’ll need some consolidation and polish to become first-class. One feature they are planning on bringing back is the databinding and templating. With a little revamping they are making it more like WPF and I kinda like that. I think they scrapped it before because it was too slow, so it’ll be interesting to see if they have something that’s quicker.
