Well, yes. I totally agree with you on that one! The original comment was about (mis)using the browser as some kind of platform independent runtime environment for apps. Admittedly, at my workplace, I created a few (very simple) html/javascript based apps to get some tasks done quickly (like sorting some tables, or a little task planer tool) as it is convenient, because a browser is something you have everywhere.
