Would you say that building Etherpad isn't hard?
Saying that real-time/comet/AJAX/[technology name] isn't hard is meaningless. I can easily say, for example, that "programming in C" isn't hard. I just don't see what your point is.

I hate this trend of coming up with fantastic buzz words and making people believe they're something new/hard/fantastic.
2. because people have been doing it for a long time means it isnt hard? there isnt any way to read that that makes any sense, brain surgeons have been around a while, its still pretty hard.
like most people who complain about buzzwords you are actually putting more emphasis on the 'buzzwords' than the actual point.
I find the recent trends in the industry to be extremely depressing.
