An AFS lens is essential equipment for Nikon's new D40. Why? It is the first autofocus Nikon without a body control to switch between auto and manual focus. Only lenses with an A/M switch on the lens are useable.
This means any AF lens used will have to be manually focused. So my great 180mm/2.8 is reduced in performance.
To a new user buying their first DSLR this will not be a problem except owners of large collections of non-AFS lenses and surely they would be looking at the D200.
