Some things are easy to do with web apps, and hard or impossible to do with client side apps. Of course the opposite is also true, but in general, when an app can be implemented as a web app, it usually is. This says to me that most people prefer it if they can get it. [...] [...] Luis Villa articulated one side to this long before I really understood it, which just goes to show that he’s smarter than me and in about 5 years I’ll probably wish I’d gone to law school.
