> If you have some "thing", that is so grotesque that it needs to break a users web browser in order to work correctly, you no longer have a "site". You have a creature, you have an application.

There is nothing "grotesque" about writing web applications.

That is the entire point of HTML5 + CSS3 + AJAX.

With modern Chrome-based browsers and Firefox I can write an application that can be used by Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, iPhone and Android users who need only visit that site.

No installation necessary, and (most importantly) no gatekeeping of apps by Apple, Google or Microsoft.
