I would be almost completely convinced that Ajax is the solution to the Reload Problem, if it weren't that there is one imperfection: in order for it to work, Javascript has to be enabled in the client browser. Yah, ok, almost everyone has it enabled, but it's not 100%.
Even a small percentage of clients without Javascript is a major usability issue if you're talking about an enterprise web application. I avoid Javascript altogether, not because I don't like it, but because it's not a gaurantee.
