The reason might be that there is no general idea what a web application
might be (that's the problem with buzz loaded terms).
For the sake of discussing the thing, a web based application are a
bunch of html pages (dynamically generated) that have some user session
attached to it.

The problem I see so far with web based applications is the complete
different API, a programmer has to use, compared to classical GUI APIs.
I'd like to see the following features by some probably-to-be-written
Web development environment:
The application can be written in a user centric way. That means, there
is no need to load sessions, have a look into GET/POST responses, etc.
All of this is hidden by the framework.
The application would look like similar to a tkinter/wxPython
application. The framework had to do all the magic required to render
the widgets in html, analysing the responses, basicly, running the state
machine.
It should be even possible to decide later on, to which extend parts are
running on the server or the client.
just my two cents
