Although Javacript/ECMAScript is a prevalent (and sometimes overused)
in web development, my experience with Web based OS has been less
than stellar. It boils down handling the nuances of each browser to have
a consistent behavior. The only one that has "kind of" success is
JoliCloud, because it is basically a fancy bookmark interface for
web applications. There are plenty individual web applications
that are successful. Do they use the same API? doubt it.
Without a consistent execution, it would be unreliable to use.
My 2 cents...
