Wow Paul!
I just couldn't help zeroing on that comment.
> a lot easier to write (just use html),
I would have used adjectives like "clunky" and "limited" when talking about
using an html in a browser app. Particularly if we are talking about high
powered math/graphs as we often are in the science apps indicated in the
original post.
I would take MS Excel/VBA as the premier fat client prototyping tool/GUI
toolkit for science & education. How would one go about replicating any of
that in an HTML/browser app? How do we get to "easier to write"?

I just did. The answer is that I don't *think* you can do much of that with
html.
Then again - I was wrong once :-)
