Hi Michael / All , I feel ERP kind of applications are mostly used from desktops. Like desktop applications , The UI of OfBiz should empower endusers with productivity features available in desktop applications.
One such feature is of accelerator or short cut keys which are very popular among users of accounting applications in particular. I feel this factor should also be considered before making a consensus on the choice of UI technology. Another factor is the performance of UI itself. No one likes to see their primary application lagging / hanging at workplace everyday. I would any day prefer to use a less aesthetic performant app to a nice looking sluggish app. my 2 cents. regds mallah.
