Nah. For the users that like your JS-based responsiveness, a properly designed server-side HTML is likely to render faster. There have been demos that show that on good connection, a server roundtrip and re-render of styled HTML will be faster than AJAX and client-side renders.

And for the users on weak machines or connections, the reload version at least works, unlike the JS one.

The "users love AJAX" argument is both silly and honestly also a bait&switch. It's not really because of AJAX that people build their sites in JS frameworks.
