Do we? I am not even sure that a Web interface is realistic for
everything. The Web was designed for distributing information, not for
interactive manipulation. Yes, I know about Java applets etc., but I
have disabled Java for good reasons, and I am not the only one. Maybe
it will get better over time, but I won't bet on it.

I'd say the most important feature is a really good GTK interface,
without restrictions imposed by compatibility with rather simple
technology.
