Slowly evolving a huge platform to keep backward compatibility at all costs is how Microsoft runs many of it's properties. At some point I think an Apple is going to come along and take a byte out of the HTML/CSS/JS hegemony by introducing a new type of browser that is easier to build applications with. At least I hope so! As long as the web remains a broken mess of designed-by-committee compromises, I think there will, at least, always be some motivation to invent a replacement. Maybe you disagree that what we have is broken, but maybe you also know too much to think that building something new is a good idea. Many people have succeeded though, by being ignorant of the fact that X seems like a bad idea to the experts.
