I'm not technical enough to answer all of your questions, but: - I love the HTA option, and have used it extensively - very easy I agree, and looks the most "program like" - My understanding (and from my experience) it's part of all modern full Windows versions, and will be for a while. It's used by some Windows admins to build scripting utilities (though Microsoft probably wants to push them from VBScript into PowerShell). - I don't know the answers to most of your other questions unfortunately
As my background is all Microsoft (VB etc.), I've often thought of building very similar to TiddlyWiki using HTA and a SQL Server / Access back-end, as that would finally get me to the large-scale and multi-user nirvana I've craved TiddlyWiki to morph into.
