> You'd better not dare write your desktop application in HTML. What has this world come to???

Ok thats clear. But then ten sentences later:

> Of course, you aren't going to write your UI in C, only an idiot would do that. Instead, you want to write it in some kind of markup language.

Now, let me think of some markup language that is universally known and has at least some pretence to be about laying out information on a screen... Thats right, html.

The thing with UI frameworks in the 21st century of flying cars, AGI and rapidly approaching Singularity, is that its a stagnating mess.

There should be a nice, standardized, cross-platform, easy to get started and progressively expandable way to build high quality visual apps. For some elusive reason, we cant have good things.
