I agree absolutely. Slashdot? Reading the posts are a nightmare! It is a
classic case of webifiying everything you possibly can, even though for
years protocols and apps which evolved organically, out of necessity,
have been around. Are email and news readers significantly less
ubiquitous than the web browser?
<rant>IMO, There are few applications which work well on the web. Most
are completely unnatural. They are and feel contrived, a nightmare to
use. Am I the only one that likens incessant web page reloading to
running fingernails over a chalkboard, or rebooting some WinOS for no
apparent reason?</rant>
