I would rather use gtk that web any time. When designing the warehouse app i mentiond in my reply to another post, we prototyped with web and with gtk With gtk it takes around 5 seconds to dispatch an order. It takes 20 on the web, mainy down to the time to refresh pages (even if they are tiny, they will never keep up with gtk). Also you get a complicated form, you have to use a mouse much more on the web unless you write some pretty funcky javascript to handle tabbing forwards backward and sidewards. Take that extra 15 seconds X it by 10000 orders a day for example.
