Personally I'm getting tired of hearing about how Javascript-enabled web apps are good enough. No, they aren't.

To play on a level field with native apps? No. Wrong discussion! What about for the same sort of tinkerer/hobbyist who wrote Hypercard stacks? Seems to me, with a little hosting and a few tools, Javascript would be dandy!

(And as for commercial apps on Hypercard -- hey, you're free to try. But I'm not talking about targeting those folks.)
