Developing on the Web platform downright sucks compared to pure native environments. There are so many things wrong or missing, it's hard to know where to start. The lack of any kind of standard library comes to mind. The ability to use something other than Javascript, without having it compile to Javascript, would be fabulous. Being able to use something, anything other than a hodge-podge of HTML/CSS and JS for making a UI would be wonderful. Sooner or later someone is going to invent a browser that can browse something other than HTML and HTML, CSS and JS will become legacy.
