Re: DesignBais - Impressive

Couple added points: Consider the evolution of the medium. The
internet browser was designed to be used to surf across pages and
sites - which is why we have Forward, Back, Stop, and Refresh buttons.
Business applications simply don't work like that, as we all know, and
we would never want someone to use those buttons in a real app. We
only put internet-based business apps in the browser because people
have adopted this as the universal client. DesignBais and other
products in this category are for building applications, not websites.
The fact that the developer and end-user use a browser is a matter of
convenience, and that shouldn't be confused with the real purpose.

FWIW, I honestly don't understand how this current "browser as the platform" fad got started, but I sincerely wish it would wither and die very, very soon. As platforms go, the browser is a total load of crap, and the dominant browser in the market is the worst of the lot!
