To add to this thread:
I am beginning to use core as a CGI workhorse for me (and I
hope Carl continues with it, despite some evidence to
the contrary in this list).
But View has Web potential also. Because /view can run programs which
reside on the web, this means that we (my client and I) can offer
customizations for his subscribers (he publishes a subscriber-only
online journal). With these customizations, for instance, the
subscribers could be running a /view application which resides
on a server that interacts with a database of their own residing
on their desktop.
So, I conclude that /view could be considered to have a web usage.
