AJAX Woes

I love different web technologies, but goddamn it some of these technologies are just horrid to work with. AJAX being one of them. Now before you jump all over me, just shaddup and listen. I don't like how Ajax is being presented as a "non full" or "partial" post back. It is indeed partial in the sense that the whole front end page is not torn down, but the back end executes completely. This is very annoying if you have an overly complex page.

It isn't nice or fair either that there are controls that act all stupid when used with AJAX, such as a RadioButtonList control. The goddamn thing does what it wants! Of course when I tell you the second part it is clearer, I have the list inside of an item template inside of a gridview. So that makes it all kinds of unhappy.
