It amazes me how blind people who consider the web browser a great platform for simple, fun teaching software are to the fact that the browser itself and typical operating systems aren't simple and fun at all and cannot be easily hidden from the user. They hit you in the face with a multitude of icons, windows, menus, annoying animated effects in various tool- and menu bars. It's in stark contrast to tablets and smartphones, where users just need to unlock and press an icon to use an app (that will take over the whole display). The (desktop and to some extent mobile) browser is just a terrible platform for the user.
