Here's my thoughts:
I agree, web applications just suck (yes, including that crummy phpmyadmin,
thank you very
much). We need something like "unified" thin clients where everyone develops
real web
applications in a unified manner (like with the web browser, but via components
and software
instead of via HTML) that run more like an executable, not in a HTML web
browser.
One problem with web applications, is they are document based instead of pixel
or screen
position based. You just can't run a software application in Microsoft word,
and that is
exactly what the web browser is.
Another problem is security and stubbornness. People are stubborn and think the
web browser
is "the way" (and sadly, especially cross-platform advocates like linux people
- since they
don't want to port their C++ application to all the platforms, a web browser
seems fit for
them). The security problem: if people load up web applications that run like
software, it
becomes a bit insecure, since the web application developer can possibly move
files and
cause infinite loops or other viruses, etc. (yes even on linux/Mac machines).
