With the capabilities included with the Mozilla DOM and CSS and extended by the "Prototype JavaScript Framework" (http://prototype.conio.net/) (and cool additional features found at "http://script.aculo.us/";), I'd argue that the gap is closing on this. There is cool stuff happening, and I expect it will get better.

Why that's just silly. You have all of the benefits of a "real client-server web app". What server you're app (client) chooses to access (local or remote or both) is up to you.

That describes me pretty well, but that doesn't mean I can't create something useful that runs on a desktop using the methods described above.
