Heretic question: Does it always need to be web? This whole web thing has become increasingly complex, while UI toolkits like Qt have evolved to be no longer solely a Linux-thing.

BTW: lately we needed a GUI for drag and drop interface to sort incoming PDF documents to the right archive keys (in a tree structure).

The web UI guys tried to implement that - it took ages, and it didn't work out. They meant they have to try out another framework for that.

So we tried it with a classic C# forms app - and it was up and running in less then 2 weeks by a single developer.

As always - use the right tool for the concrete job.

Daniel
