Being browser based shouldn't be limiting you. A big advantage is that you can become a "channel" accessible alongside other apps (it is far easier for users accessing a portal using PHP-Nuke, Plone, My Yahoo etc than separate fullblown standalone apps each with its own look and feel). And once you have web accessing via cell phones, PDAs or Nintendo Wiis is that much easier. If you felt the web based interface wasn't rich enough then there are good widget toolkits out there. For example check out Yahoo's: ~ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/ I also strongly recommend learning a little bit more about making productive web apps.
