IMHO mostly coz people are not thinking about how to avoid using
them.
A lot of people seem to have an inability to deal with the
restrictions placed by the web... if you work within those
restrictions life gets much easier. It seems that most people can't
move beyond the client-server paradigm.
The distributed web architecture *is* better. It's faster, more
flexible (accepting the obvious UI restraints) and easier to build.
People using Swing (and applets generally) are just making their
lives difficult.
