By definition, Web Software will be the "best" software ever built because it has the largest market (and so greatest leverage of investment dollars) and most creative business model (harness the world's best minds together with open interfaces)
-
As Web Software is "distributed computing infrastructure", one will need to customize and integrate for each application
-
Note PC software and perhaps even IBM business OS was high quality software but not so open and not a complete model
|
One should build upwards from the "democractic Web"
-
e.g. up from POTS --> ISDN/Cable Modem/ADSL --> ...
-
Not down from ..........<--- ATM

This allows you to both deliver your application to the general public (not always required but often desireable) and use the best leveraged software
|
|
Note Web Software tends to offer highest functionality as opposed to highest performance and HPCC often requires different trade-offs
