There was so much work done in the 80s and 90s on RAD — rapid application development — that was all thrown in the trash when the web hit.

20+ years later we’ve managed to finally build up the right combination of hacks to make the web a passable application platform but it still feels like you’re forcing it. Because you are. The web was not designed to be an app platform and it shows. Still.



Great point!
