Tim says he doesn't like Live.com -- its slow and its ugly -- and there's just no point in it. I have to say that I agree, but I also think there's an even bigger problem -- Atlas ! Now I'll be the first to admit that I still haven't spent much time with Atlas, so maybe I'm missing something, but it just feels all wrong to me. Don't get me wrong, I like Ajax, when its used correctly and within reason -- of course I also liked it back in 1999 before it was called Ajax. I also like some of the Ajax implementations from what I've seen of them, but that's where Atlas goes wrong. What do I mean? Quite simply it doesn't try to be an Ajax implementation -- instead it tries to be a client-side framework. And just why do we need a client-side framework? Oh yea, to build sites like Live.com -- it all makes perfect sense now.
