This is my personal believes, and I expressed it many times on our
local JUG meetings.

Today I work in a rich client project. We're using javaweb start with
SWT client connecting on a JBOSS Server with our EJBs.
I believe that, Laszlo is somehow a step back on RIA. It may solve a
few issues but it adds many problems.

1st. It impose to you that your client must have a webbrowser (ok,
99.99 has it) and it must have flash (I don't)

2nd. It's slow. I don't understand the architecture of flash
components but they lie inside a webbrowser which itself consumes
memory.

3rd. You can't do everything that a REAL Rich Interface Application could do.

So, my guess is, if you need better user interaction, migrate to a
real RIA, not attempts to do something that looks like RIA. I really
recommend you take a look at HiveBoard :D
If you don't need that, your project could be a webcentric, with just
minor enhancements (aka DHTML, AJAX), you're already at the right
place, you are using Tapestry.

I hope that monster (aka Laszlo) does not become a standard.

Just my thoughts...
