I guess it depends on what kind of user base you have, but the number of browsers with java enabled seems to be drop every day. It could be argued that Java applets are legacy; are you sure you want to build new systems based on that technology? (I don't have any numbers though, if anyone have, please share them.)

As Arthur Huillet pointed out, we do provide similar portal-style functionality in ThinLinc. Currently, it is possible to use either a Java Applet, or the native client. In the latter case, we are dynamically generating a .thinlinc connection file. Our plan is to phase out the Java Applet and instead provide a HTML5 client.
