It's not just Gmail and Node. It's Live Mail and Yahoo Mail and dozens of other Web mail apps that now dwarf desktop mail systems -- at least with consumers.

It's Microsoft's Office Web. It's Google Docs. It's Zoho Apps. Yeah, there are hundreds of millions of users there already.

It's YouTube and Facebook and Twitter.

These are applications with logic and complicated functionality and they're built with HTML and JS and they have hundreds of millions of users, each one of them.

You're talking about front-ends / websites.

None of your examples are built with HTML and JS on the backend.
