I think that building web apps that look/feel like desktop apps is a step in the wrong direction. Some of the best web apps around like Gmail, Maps, Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress etc represent a complete break from traditional desktop software and I actually like that. You can almost think of the browser viewport as a blank canvas on which you can draw pretty much anything. Desktop apps feel much more constrained in terms of UI & appearance. I think web apps - if done right - look and feel much better than most desktop apps anyway. Not to take way from what the OP accomplished.. That's some serious javascripting and I like his approach much better than Cappuccinos
