>>Unless web coverage is actually goal of app, I cannot see how web app can be superior to desktop (native) one.
Agreed. But if people start with "Everybody knows that browser apps are the future" then they can insist that NET is just as good as anything else for the backend and that the non-MS device is irrelevant, because it's just a support system for the browser. So the MS developer still is in the hot seat, hurrah! It's ironic that some of those who scoffed at VFP as MS foxed it, now depend on extremely unlikely arguments to justify clinging to NET.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
