I had a quick look and cappuccino apps are not crawlable, at least the demos aren't. Sorry, but it doesn't look like cappuccino gets what the web is about.

As somebody who uses text interfaces primarily I don't think desktop apps are amazing anyway, even if I see that they are better for some tasks.

The web browser is the only graphical tool I use daily, I don't need things inside to look like desktop apps. shudder



Yeah, this was my reaction as well. I'm kind of surprise someone has fondness for Desktop Apps anymore, because I only have one and it's my web browser so I do development and get other work done. Other than that it's terminal based running non-gui applications. Desktop doesn't really have a place on the web from where I'm sitting.


I don't think either of you are representative of the vast majority of computer users.
