What the html platform is lacking? My last project was built around QT, OpenGL, CUDA and made extensive use of various C based linear algebra libraries and was ~20kloc of C++. I'm sure it could be reimplemented as a web app but it would be a strange decision to do so.

But that wasn't my point. My point was that just because the web allows you to do things that were possible on the desktop 10+ years ago doesn't make it interesting to me. And the fact that you can always add specific functionality to the runtime like video conferencing doesn't really address that.

I don't have to wait for browser vendors, I just start coding.
