I found modern web UI is really much more advance than what existing desktop UI implementation. I was thinking of making a wrapper app around tcpdump/pcap app and generates a nice Web UI for localhost user.
Only if you have a better idea on how to display the data, and then I as a user don't care about the technology you use to implement it. Implementing the same UI in HTML/CSS is not more useful than implementing it in a native toolkit.
Oh, and writing it using web technologies might be easier, but there's nothing you can do with them that you can't do with a native desktop implementation, for the simple fact that browsers themselves are native desktop applications.
That is a rather bizarre claim.
I meant "modern web UI is more advanced than desktop UI".
Like what Jeff Atwood said before in 2007.
