Also, the use of green screen or fat clients is a good reason to refactor.
WEB user interfaces is much better.

Of course, web interfaces are the current "state-of-the-art" - but I have to say, that (at least IMHO) they lack one important feature: Stateful Transaction Processing

All web interfaces are stateless by definition. They emulate a statefulness by utilizing a bunch of technologies, like a shopping cart or a session token or something like that.

But in the end, if an session ends "abnormal" - there have to be timeouts and algorithms that detect inactive sessions to rollback database actions - where an aborted green screen session does all that without any application overhead.

So when in comes to transactions - maybe a stateful and transactional user interface is not the wrong choice.

Just my 2ct
