I wouldnt defend web culture in this respect. Some people also argue that html is really about documents and not a good basis for a gui anyways. But I think technically it is possible to overload whatever is available and have very decent, easy to build apps and have a productive, cross platform option. Its not going to make those pushing gui limits sweat, but that is not its point. In any case its not going to happen as the experience with standard development and adoption is quite painful

> I think technically it is possible to overload whatever is available [in existing web standards] and have very decent, easy to build [GUI] apps "Technically", perhaps. "Easy", no! It appears the DOM is inherently too flawed to serve GUI's well, and fixing it would likely break backward compatibility. Forcing DOM to do GUI's is possible, but turns even women bald.
