No. Everyone hates web UI's, including users and programmers. But we need them because they're the only cross-platform and device-independent solution.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoThat's not true though, they only work on one platform: the web browser, and often they only work well on one specific browser. If you're going to allow a runtime as bloated and complicated as a web browser to count as "cross platform" then you'll have to admit that Java met those same criteria 2 decades ago.
