Re: "A simpler and more stable development framework. Keeping up with JS and CSS frameworks (many of which exist precisely because pure JS and CSS are pretty painful to use if you want to develop a desktop-like application) is hard even for people who use them professionally. There's no way you can ask business people to keep up with that. A more stable framework, that hides the fact that browsers were never meant for application development well enough (even if that means less flexibility) could go a long way towards making things easier." Indeed! We need a GUI/desktop-oriented markup standard for in-house and custom CRUD. It's a big market that shouldn't ignored at the expense of other markets (such as sales-oriented websites). All the companies who want a chunk of Microsoft's business should get together and help define such a standard. Google, IBM, Oracle, Amazon, Apple, do you hear that? The MS pie is waiting to be sliced up for YOUR benefit. Get on it!
