Why not a GUI based on HTML, CSS and Javascript?

To paraphrase another poster and to borrow from SQLite:

Pick any *THREE*:
- Simple
- Beautiful
- Cross-platform

I'm not sure what this discussion is about, but anyway, modern GUI frameworks /are/ based on XML, CSS and some code behind, which may be JavaScript or other language.

In particular Mozilla's XUL is based on XML, CSS and JavaScript, and Microsoft's whatever-its-name is based on XML, CSS and, as I understand it, your choice of programming language for the code behind.

I have done some XUL programming (a few Thunderbird extensions) but I haven't tried the Microsoft stuff since even their XML text editor, when I first looked at it, required minimum 512 MiB of RAM, and that was years ago; presumably the modern version of that MS XML text editor now requires 16 GiB or more RAM...


Cheers,
