This is one of the things that frustrated me about the web world. Stuff that you could do in 2000 with real UI kits is finally making its way to the browser. Java/Swing and Qt could do this years ago, and more elegantly. I don't suppose there is any momentum for starting over with something not based on a simple word-processing model, but with a real UI foundation.
