Buck,

"Webbish" to me means browsable (point and click).  But that doesn't
diminish the need for keyboard actions in an application as well.  In a data
entry / maintenance context, a subfile still makes sense to me.

Would that comment be from the people using the application?  Or the ones
selling it?  My reason for asking is because I still hear positive feedback
from green-screen users.

On the other hand, are Webfaced applications too slow for people to use?
