    As far as I understand your main point, it is that from a user perspective, it doesn't really matter if a GUI is a real MUI GUI or a GUI created in web technologies that looks and behaves like a MUI GUI. I interpret takemehomegrandma's emphasis on the importance of a real MUI GUI as evidence that he actually did not write his comment from a pure user perspective.

    Yes, absolutely. No argument there. What I'm wondering about, in terms of software to fill important holes in the MorphOS software pool as well as in terms of setting up arbitrary purity rules, is the consistency of dismissing an X11 solution on the one hand because it likely lessens the motivation of developing real MorphOS software (I can dig up the quotes if wanted), and endorsing local use of web technologies on the other hand. But maybe there are and have always been two distinct groups of people and I just mix them up :-)
