It can do large amount of what client-side Javascript can do, in a 
fraction of the number of lines of code.

It can provide a much more interactive experience and reduced network 
traffic compared with server-side XSLT, and it takes load off the server.

It's also well suited to situations where you're restricted in your 
choice of server-side technologies, which is often the case with shared 
hosting.
