It wouldn't have been possible to do as a webapp at all, as the app in question was a peer to peer app that spoke a fairly complex network protocol that doesn't support WebSockets (Bitcoin). But even if that issue hadn't existed, the development time went mostly on logic and p2p/networking issues. HTML wouldn't have helped and JavaFX supports a dialect of CSS2 anyway.
