Without commenting on the usefulness of switch-box, which I'm not qualified
to do, I would disagree with your characterization of "the single biggest
problem" with web applications. In my experience, as one who has reviewed
hundreds of problematic web applications, the "single biggest" problem is
all things database-related: database schema design, inefficient database
access, insufficient caching of database records (and other generated output
for that matter). Admittedly, I'm stretching to classify this as a single
problem, but there it is.
