One nice thing about developing in Tango/HTML is you are not restricted to screen size. You can always get larger monitors, and go to higher resolution and put more info on the screen at once. You can also open multiple windows w/ different or related information on them.
A primary design issue I had when converting my DOS apps to Tango was that I was no longer restricted to 25 lines by 80 characters, and essentially I was able to put information from 3 DOS screens onto one HTML page.
