ASP.NET MVC Controls – Around 9 controls.
ASP.NET AJAX Controls – Around 70+ controls.
I’ve read somewhere that you cannot use AJAX controls inside ASP.NET MVC web applications. Does that mean ASP.NET MVC is less productive?

ASP.NET MVC is a very new framework compared to ASP.NET Webforms. The ASP.NET MVC framework version 2 has only been “official” for about 4 months now. Give Telerik some time to catch up. 🙂
It’s not fair to say that ASP.NET MVC is less productive than ASP.NET Webforms, but rather that there are fewer pre-built tools to serve the same functionality as those found in Webforms. That being said, due to the very lightweight and flexible nature of ASP.NET MVC you will find that a great deal of JavaScript tools and utilities are more available in MVC than they are in Webforms because there is significantly less hassle in implementing them. (F@*$ JSON with ASP.NET Webforms, thank you very much!).
jQuery and ASP.NET MVC are like peas in a pod and by combining them you will likely discover that you have access to more rich client-side functionality in MVC than you ever did in Webforms- despite the implementation requiring a little bit more JavaScript savviness than you may be used to.
