HTML as a UI is geared towards making documents and displaying text and graphics in a rigid layout/format.

It's not geared, imho, for a UI with lots of interactivity - e.g., imagine trying to implement blender or an audio processing app (like audacity) in html/css. You'd basically be creating new primitives on top of html, and build your UI on that (or install one of those UI libraries that _renders_ to html).




SVG is part of HTML and good for most of the needs except for the audio wave stuff (which Delphi couldn't do either)
