Yeah, that was more the point I was trying to make.  CF-generated HTML
is an amazingly simple way to create feature-rich UIs, if you don't
mind the poor user experience (because of page loads).  Any kind of
"real" UI (Ajax, Flash/Flex, Java, C#, etc) is going to take a lot
more work than HTML, but you get a lot of benefits.  And that's even
if the toolkit you use has a well designed and documented API.  You
still have to deal with programming against that API, which is
necessarily going to be a lot harder than simple HTML.  Definitely a
shift from web programing to "real" programming, and that's hard.
