Then what results is exactly what you say: a WEB UI.  This was good enough
five years ago, it isn't today.

People expect, generally, more robust UIs delivered in a browser.  They
expect webapps that look, feel and work more like fat clients.  This is
all a virtual impossibility without some dergee of scripting.

There are of course cases where this doesn't natter... sometimes the
simplistic Google front page approach is perfect.  But you'll pretty
quickly run up against some serious roadblocks to developing anything
other than "classic" web UIs without scripting.

Your point is well-taken... scripting does indeed entail some level of
danger... but so does driving a car, and we all do that without much
thought :) (which is of course part of the problem with driving today, but
I digress...)
