Both the concept and actually implemented examples of so-called "web
applications" prove that they are just plain garbage and hopelessly
unusable for anything remotely resembling actual screenwork.

HTML forms may be at best useful for "web shops", but for actual
screenwork, HTML is not a valid GUI, no matter how much javascript you
add to it.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
