Green screen may be easier for the very basic programs, web requires
learning something new, and lots of people are only confortable with the
tools they know.

Scott Klement said it. Everything you can do in green screen you can do in
a web page. And you don't have to do more than that. And you can emulate
state, and write recoverable code, just like almost all companies of size
do with their web sites.

Green sreen is easier, for sure. It's still standard where I work, though
most of us use RDi.

But, if you only know green screen...

Hello Daniel,

I don't think that HTTP is a bad protocol - but it is intended to
transfer "documents" from server to client and back.

Thanks for speaking out with solid technical reasoning!

Http has been grossly abused and bent to fit a use case it wasn't
exactly
fit for. And has been thrown upon with kludges upon kludges to make
Web-UIs
feel more like real applications, in turn creating the need for
"frameworks" to help programmers master the mess because the resulting
stacked technology is utterly hard to comprehend.

Like you, I also dislike blind belief in web interfaces being superior
in
general. No matter how often certain people assert this, it's a
generalization and there is never a silver bullet.

:wq! PoC
