It’s working fine and provides a platform for which we can quickly and easily create content. Developing this platform, however, was not an exercise in Rapid Application Development. For a good percentage of projects, it’s just not practical to invest that kind of effort. That’s why I’m glad to see things like WebRunner being developed. And not a second too soon: the Adobe stuff and similar efforts have the potential to eclipse Gecko which would be a shame since Gecko has so much to offer.

I don't want to install lots of .exes on my Windows machine. I'm all for replacing desktop apps with browser-based apps. My desktop apps like Quicken and (shudder) Norton 360 don't have Ctrl-+ to zoom, you can't select read-only text, you can't right-click links, you can't use LiveHTTPHeaders to watch the requests, you can't bookmark, ... They're *MORE* primitive than browser apps. Argghhh! Now that recent trunk builds have the -app command-line switch to load a XULRunner app, can I start a WebRunner app from Firefox 3?
