      I prefer not to do user interfaces at all. When I must, I use WinForms (with C#), it's closer to "real" programming. :-D

      Yes, if you need speed and cross-platform and stuff like that.

            OK Your contract terms specify the application must be finished within a single billable hour.

              Web dev wins by a nose, simply by managing to stay slightly less insane than Win32/WinForms. Frankly though, i much prefer dev that doesn't consist primarily of working around bad design decisions in the platform.

              You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

                From times rac was flogged on the lounge I know there're people in Eastern Europe making good money by local standards from it. Granted their COL is probably only 10% of ours, but I'd still call them success stories. If you mean the first in a 1st world economy you might have a point. :rolleyes:

                        Web is more challenging. The direction the web is heading is to have a rich user experience like Windows does. But it will not be easy.

                          Uggghhh! Java is safer, but at the expense of expressiveness and raw power. I thought programming languages were for us people to tell computers what to do, not for computers to tell us what not to do.

                            I would agree, but would ask them to provide me with every single item sold on eBay, as I need this for testing.

                                      OK Your contract terms specify the application must be finished within a single billable hour.

                                      :laugh: I was thinking of more like 100K billable hours.

                                        From times rac was flogged on the lounge I know there're people in Eastern Europe making good money by local standards from it. Granted their COL is probably only 10% of ours, but I'd still call them success stories. If you mean the first in a 1st world economy you might have a point. :rolleyes:

                                        I really don't feel like moving to Eastern Europe just to take a contract. :-D So I guess I am stuck in the 1st world. :)

                                          It all boils down to client requirement rather than personal preference.
