With CCK, free tagging, and ATOM support, among other things all hitting core pretty soon, Drupal is looking to be one of the best web development platforms out there.

The only thing seriously holding me back from using Drupal over Ruby on Rails would be RoR's native AJAX support.

How much longer till AJAX support hits Drupal?

Thanks

So if it was committed to HEAD, does that mean that it'll be in the next core release?

Sorry, I'm not real familiar with how things work. Also, what exactly does the project that you just linked do?

Thanks again.

Yes. Here's the link to drupal versioning information. AJAX is merely another technology. True, it's all buzzwordy and such, but it's just something that helps and Thox has spent a lot of time on it to make sure it works well and degrades nicely for those non-supportive type browsers. You will need to drive through commit logs and drupal-devel to see what all it includes and such.

The code freeze announcements only really references it "Improved edit forms (auto-complete forms and collapsible page elements)" and "Various usability improvements" which is the really important part of it anyway.

If you want to test it today, give HEAD a try on a test site. The developers guide explains how the whole process works and even has a how to play with Drupal HEAD guide buried in it for use in testing bug reports. Oddly enough, more information on Project is in there as well. It is a fairly important module to all of Drupal and people who use Drupal.
