the web is a really poor abstraction for building UIs and it's kinda incredible that we collectively don't internalize that simple lesson. We have hacked to death a platform for linked text documents because it's what everyone has, that's the extent of the merits of the web platform, but it's not a good fit for what we're trying to do in the productivity world. Flex for example was leaps and bounds better in that regard, and any desktop OS is too. Javascript is a poorly designed language that we beat into submission by working around its many, many flaws. We keep making this mistake of wanting to use what's available instead of coming together to build something better, so we waste MILLIONS of collective hours because we're dumb.
