I read an interesting article on Google's use of a set of coding tools they have coined "Ajax" here. From my very limited explorations of Web Engine I get the impression that Web Engine integrates a lot of the same technology in a WYSIWYG environment. How much overlap is there or put another way - what can "Ajax" do that Web Engine cannot (yet) do? It is not a fair comparison ofcourse, because "Ajax" is all hand-coding.

I think they are talking more about technologies used rather than tools used. Google uses DHTML, XML, JavaScript and XMLHTTPRequest to get the map data from the server on to the page. Web Engine uses DHTML (or SVG)and JavaScript to move things around on the page.
