What's your guys general thought on how everything is web based now? For me, I don't really like it. I would just rather have an actual program that runs. But I am merely a user, not a programmer.

People don't like downloading things unless they absolutely have to. It immediately puts a weight against anyone using what you've created. With web based, there's nothing to download, and it works on any platform that can run a browser.

    While at the same time, this is just a 'perception' thing.
    The user is always downloading all the JS, just not really keeping it in a place they would look at and not having to click a "Download" button.
