Updates. Toolbars. Service Packs. Settings. Anti-virus. Filesystems. Control panels. All the stuff you hate when your Mom calls you for tech support? Sounds more like a Windows problem then a pc problem. Since converting my family to Macs, I haven't had to handle any of this stuff but when they used Windows it was a monthly annoyance.

Let's not go overboard - both Mac and iOS have Updates and Settings and service packs, it's just that these are simpler to use than on Windows. Also the first call I got from my Mum after buying her an iPad 2 was to ask how to increase the size of the Notes font (turns out it couldn't be done).

  (Try Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Large Text: it seems to work on my iPad for bumping notes to a larger font size.)

What happened to web apps? Five years ago they were The Next Best Thing because they didn't have updates, toolbars, service packs, filesystems, anti-virus... Popularity for technology comes in waves.

  It's not like the days of web app development are over. Just look at Google Docs and Gmail or Amazons Cloud Reader. With the push for HTML 5, constant JS optimization and new technologies like Dart emerging it is getting more feasible every day to develop web apps. Especially in the Post PC era because web apps are cross-platform and cross-device.
