The criticisms are, in part, the same problems you find with any web-based application. Namely, keyboard shortcuts
don't always work (or get implemented), browser-specific technology (in this case, Firefox 1.5), and of course some
folks raise security issues with the whole ajax thing... But Extremetech gets very specific in
criticisms of ajaxWrite, which we mentioned
earlier. It's a top-to-bottom review of the service, and the results aren't great. Then again, I see all of the
ajaxLaunch stuff as being more proof-of-concept. Why it isn't ajaxLaunchBeta is beyond me. After all, Beta is the new
black. All ajaxWrite makes me want is Writely to emerge from the Google merge.
