What really bugs me is that the browser keeps failing to step up to the plate. Despite everything, browsers still don't come close to supporting a first class user interface Why can't web apps have proper (native) toolbars, menus, etc. instead of "the best half-assed simulacrum you can make out of divs, css, pngs, svg, and javascript? This was the single glaring deficiency of Hypercard back in the day, and it's been faithfully replicated by the W3C et al for over twenty years now.

Sure, this would all need to be reasoned about carefully to avoid visual security loopholes, but it's not like we didn't live through Flash and Java.
