I have to take issue with this last one. Whereas I'm far from 'console
bigot' (I do enjoy Emacs on X far more than on console), I cringe when I
have to use those badly done, Javascript and cookie-laden Web-2.0
interfaces. Trac -- ackphth.

GUI != browser.  And I think we'd be better off separating all those
layers and picking whatever suits us. Why not http without html? Or html
without Javascript? Texinfo-over-http anyone?
