quote: " But ASP.NET is still not that great, it does not overcome the inherit problem - web browsers are a very limited way to create a user interface. You shouldn't have to pull all your tricks out to make the interaction feel natural. You should have easy ability to show model dialogs... You should have highly specialized input validation done on the client side."
you made a bunch of good points there. here's a question to everyone - what would your interest be in a XUL based framework - yes, running only on mozilla - that lets you create front-ends to db's, like in Access / VB / Delphi, with data-bound controls and grids.
So you get the benefits of a RAD, full, rich GUI like VB/Access, and the benefits of a web app b/c it is updated everytime you use it. i'd think something like this would be a killer app for Mozilla Firefox
