I was in the anti "web as a platform" camp for a long time, but today it 
just makes sense.  I have to ask:  have you looked deeply into seaside?  
Using seaside you will be subjected to the visial limitations of  HTML, but 
you won't have to program "in strange ways".  The seaside frame work hides 
the state problems with HTTP.  Seaside also will do javascript if asked, so 
those GUI limitations wont be as bad as you would expect.
