As you said, whole (X)HTML/CSS/DOM/JavaScript/Ajax crap… Good words. I agree. We need something new, effective and durable.

Hi, I know that pain as well! It’s difficult to create cross-browser ajax apps working in different environments! Thanks for author!

I agree with Jeremy, that would be great if someday all WEB Languages were replaced with one. http://www.internetsolutionsireland.com/

I hope this whole (X)HTML/CSS/DOM/JavaScript/Ajax crap is one day replaced with real architecture that is elegant, effective, consistent accross platforms, secure, easy to program. Something like RCP efforts from Eclipse or similar. Web pages will be for the static content, but for dynamic applications there will be real thin application framework.

Look further ahead beyond the technology and see the vision of giving users the flexibility of client-side structured data manipulation:

"Manipulating web pages" goes much further than just tweaking the DOM a little. More power can be given to the users if the web pages' data retains its original semantics.

Although FF Extensions make configuration easier, something like MyStickies could be done completely in UserJS/Greasemonkey. As an aside, this service better have plenty of bandwidth since their server is gonna be hit everytime any of their users visits ANY web page!

I like the fact the BEJAX looks like it should be pronounced “BEE-jacks”. It sounds like “what comes after AY-jacks” (thus leading us to wonder what SEJAX will be).

Flash is another example of that. You can use that browser extension to allow some more advanced cross site interactions. The advantage is that it is generic, so that you don't need a new extension to enable each new integration that you want to support.
