Web applications are not desktop applications and will always behave differently.

You cannot build a whole web application created with HTML on one single page.

The tabs on the Posting screen contain options related to one action -> sending a post, whereas tabs in the ACP or UCP contain each a different action, which make a big difference between them.

AJAX or other JavaScript manipulation which eases up navigation of a site is nice, this is however completely useless.
Please think before you post.

That isn't AJAX, it's simple javascript.

Using AJAX for the (A|U|M)CP is a bit of a waste because you need to reload 90% of the page anyways.

As the control panels aren't really used that often compared to the posting screen, I don't see why they should use AJAX just for the sake of it.

And there off course is

It would be pretty easy to do with jQuery, but again, it does not benefit too much since most of the page must be reloaded.
