I wouldn't go that far in praising web browsers and the technology they
are built on. It's so clunky, bloated and buggy, it's not even funny.
On a daily basis, I'm forced to use crappy and slow web apps - agile
boards, code review boards, development wiki, bug reporting, etc. All of
them are just awful and laggy. Has anyone tried using VMWare vSphere
cloud app, it's too painful to describe the experience.

The current trend of moving native desktop applications to cloud and
web browsers, simply frustrates and infuriates me. Yes you could build
a house out of Weetabix, but that doesn't mean that you should.
