Wijmo/Telerik and others bring the web platform _slightly_ closer to the level of quality and ease of use that can be had in a desktop platform, but let's be honest...browsers really don't know the difference between a bunch of text and a bunch of advanced controls (e.g. Grids, Menus, Dialogs, etc.) and it shows, particularly in the areas of focus and selection. Also, keyboard acceleration is severely lacking in every HTML advanced component set that I've ever seen. The whole scene is just dismal compared to what can be had with a decent desktop kit IMO. I am thinking it will be another 5 years before the web really catches up, but that doesn't help me much because I'm lazy _right now_ (EDIT: meaning, I don't want to have to work that hard for all those little niceties, but I still want them).
