Not quite, but I appreciate you for asking for a clarification. The web is absolutely document-first. Our applications are _still_ just documents, which is pretty incredible. I just don't think it's very good at being document-first. A sufficiently advanced document-first platform would have a lot more functionality in regards to reading, modifying, maintaining, and sharing documents. As far as any consumer is concerned, a basic note-taking app provides more functional use than a web browser. That may be the reason it's become better known as a kludged together application platform derived from layers upon layers of workarounds - around a substandard document viewer with amazing plugin support. If I'm making any point at all, it's that I don't accept the premise of the original post. The web isn't as good at serving documents as we tend to say it is, but it's become quite the application platform, because everyone seems to want it to be one. So who cares if people make crappy pages using JS when it isn't ideal?
