> Web UIs are pretty awful, unpredictable, confusing and non-standard compared to desktop ones. Not only that but they're hard to develop, you have to jump through hoops of CSS hacks to make things behave in a sort-of-desktop-like fashion.
I disagree almost completely with this. I haven't had to use a CSS "hack" in ages. And I think the "hard to develop" part is a product of experience. Having been in the web world for a while I find no difficult in it at all. Especially when using one of the many CSS frameworks out there.
Although I will give you that on second read, my statement is a bit ridiculous because I said "tools" and desktop does have better drag and drop tools for UI. What I should have said is "capabilities"
Was there something that can be done on the desktop you had in mind that is particular difficult in web?
