This was one of the main factors pushing me towards webware. I got sucked into the java -> framwork - > ide -> gui website builder and all of a sudden my app did not work in xxx browser. And it took me longer to understand the code then it would have if I had written it myself.
One of my eternal pet projects is a community site for sports clubs. They are great when I update the site via a web interface, but the average board member always has trouble. They really need a client side app to manage the updates, but I keep trying to improve the web interface with _javascript_ tricks to make it usable.
Its a real issue (That you can avoid by embracing microsoft and forcing you customers to standardize on IE) The solution to my web interface problem is a little dhtml activeX control. The Mac user will just have to buy a new PC.
