I love desktop apps. However, I love good Internet-enabled desktop applications, not the Visual Basic crap that wannabes did before. I hate that flash 'apps' never have proper scrolling. No mouse wheel support, non standard behaviour, etc, etc. And I hate that flash 'apps' can't use the right mouse button. See Portal flash version for the stupidity of it. And most of it: I hate that a single stupid RIA eats all my CPU cycles in what a desktop application would not even use a 1% of it. Ugly flash video included (I see my Internet videos in stage6, thanks).
