> Mozilla has always championed the open web. So why is it abandoning desktop web apps, the most powerful alternative to proprietary App Stores? Most powerful? Define powerful here. If we're talking about convenience, I guess, but even then, a standard webpage is fine. In terms of amount of things it can do, no way. Not having access to a file system or standard sockets immediately disqualifies it from being the second most powerful option in my mind. Maybe the word "powerful" is being used differently here, but I don't know what definition they could be using.
