Spry - A better Ajax?

When I had first heard of Spry - Dreamweaver's solution to the ajax craze, I couldn't see the advantage to it. I suppose being married into Dreamweaver theoretically makes it advantageous, but for all the simplicity and intuitiveness that jquery brings to the table, I find that it is hard to beat.


Spry does feature some good demos, but it has little in the way of real community so far as I can tell. Their demos seem fast and well done...certainly nothing to complain about from a front end perspective. The documentation also seems rather available.
