Applets is what we really need :).
Applets are evil. Even flash is a more compelling client side platform than applets. I've never seen an applet that didn't make me want to vomit. XUL is better in many respects to both Flash and Applets thanks to a clean declarative model, but has the lowest potential market penetration as IE will not support it, afaik. There are other client side technologies, but few as prevalent. So, we're left with JS. Love it or hate it. Most browsers support it, it's stood the test of time, and it works.

Therefore I think it does not make sense to try (re)creating Swing in browsers. Applets is what we really need :).
