Java has been banned from the clients, it just wasn't fast enough. Perhaps XUL and the Mozillacode is the way to go for the rest of us, who now, as technologies like SOAP emerge, don't want to be locked onto one platform without a choice. Now, for the first time ever, all the tools are there. Combining it with XML-RPC and software like Radio Userland and the surrounding emerging software trends, there comes a whole lot of new opportunities. I come to realize that we live in a golden age of programming, where so many commercial grade tools are available for free, giving us developers the chance to do all we want in a totally new exciting manner.
Interoperability is the word.
