A much more balanced approach to the issue, well done.
I would have liked to see a little more discussion about the web vs. not-web topic as I don't think it quite hits the point that "web is just a UI" as hard as it could.
But it at least gets the discussion going. "Atwood's law" is almost a straw man. Just because the UI is written in javascript doesn't mean the entire stack is going to be.
