Personally I think web browsers and HTML are absolutely awful platforms for writing applications, sure you get compatibility with everything that has a web browser but you're building everything ontop off of a poorly designed and loose specification that says that the webpage must always load. if XHMTL2 had actually gone through things might be different, but I'd still be against it because I'm against the cloud, and server-client as opposed to p2p architecture as a general rule. And I stand by this and use native clients for everything I can get away with (unfortunately haven't found a good client application to replace actually visiting youtube with yet). But on the other hand you have the cloudies who are going to push it as if it was the best thing ever as they continue to try to make the web browser an OS onto itself.
