I agree. As I see it Coral is means to creating a desktop app by either
reusing code from a web site (which it can't do completely) or leveraging CF
devs who don't know any other language.

Either way, I think it's the wrong user experience. Web apps are a
compromise for the user and developer already because of the limitations of
the web. Why put a compromised app on the desktop where you could have
leveraged the full capabilities of the platform?

<devil's advocate>
Because the client won't spend the money/time on creating a desktop version
of what they've already got.
</devil's advocate>

Basically I see it offering an option to accomodate a bad situation. It may
not be a good option, but it's one more than before.
