By doing so, they forced a compromise that was very painful for applications developers. Concepts like pages, html, requests and responses, which originated from the historical evolution of web development, are not really suitable for developing applications. While AJAX frameworks such as Atlas make a very nice edition to those enviroments they are still based on web development concepts which adds a great deal of complexity over desktop development concepts.
