So how do you retrieve data that are kept in different tables? Or do
you simply replicate the same data in every single table that needs
it?

While I'd agree with you somewhat on jQuery and frameworks, AJAX isn't
the same thing. It's just a style of user interface that does make the
application more user-friendly. After all, in the hypothetical
accounting program, wouldn't typing a few letters in the invoicing
page to start displaying a list of possible customers be more
efficient than having to go to a separate search page to list and
select a customer?

In my largely unresearched opinion, the same security issues that any
server side language might have: careless or naive programmers.
