This seems to be the biggest challenge to overcome, really. Looking at my daily computer usage, much of what I do is browser-based (email, calendar, CRM, connecting with customers -- heck, even the product my company creates is accessed through a web-based console).
Web pages these days are so much more than just "web pages" -- they're entire programs, effectively, which means they have hefty requirements.
The rest of what I do is console-based, and I can use just about anything with a keyboard, screen, and network connection -- up (down?) to and including my VIC-20.
