Crystal and similar products came about before the advent of the web

as the primary development platform. Since the web, very little effort

is being expended in the non-web fields. I guess if there was a strong

demand someone would have stepped up, just like if there was a strong

demand for desktop apps, Dabo would be used by millions.
