Yep.

Because it wants to provide RAD, the LCL GUI designer is one of the most easy to use GUI designers. I once failed on trying to find an "active" web page designer tool that comes anywhere close regarding user friendliness.

RAD is only small addition. I use Delphi from several years and don't use RAD (design forms by mouse). And many professional developers drop RAD and made forms in code.


Thus for me a "Web GUI" LCL Widget type makes a huge lot of sense (even if the count and features of the widgets usable in this mode is restricted vs the "local" widgets.

Some times (and increasingly) they are much powerful: 3d look, textures, animated, structural hints etc.

In fact it should be possible to switch between "Web GUI" and "local GUI" just by setting the Widget type variable.


This is background
Decent messages for stuff that does not work on the WebGUI appreciated.

I think that 99.9% code may work on proper WebGUI
This is then same like switch form Intel to ARM or to x64. When library/compiler developers take care, rest can no/small worry about it.
