It's a big enough advantage to matter to *me*. You don't seem to
understand how I loath using a webbrowser as a general application
interface.

Webbrowsers are fine for displaying information, and simple interactive
things. If you have a textarea tag in the page, and it is not a simple
toy, then you are probably beter served with a real application.

The downside is that webbrowsers are so prevalent, and follow a rough
standard, that everyone thinks that is the best way to go to be
cross-platform. And it stinks.
