"Web Browsers really make poor client application runtimes for all but the most basic of things."
I found this the most amusing line of the post, given the current state of many staple desktop applications. Besides games, how many programs these days are designed to run natively on desktop as opposed to in a browser? It feels like the default is now browser-based!

The fact that with a pile of duct tape and spit you can get it to work doesn't mean that web browsers make really poor application runtimes for all but the most basic of thing. It's horrible how all this stuff works under the hood, it's just one kludge on top of another, the fact that it's mostly abstracted away doesn't make it is suddenly all good.
