Look in philosophical terms what you are saying here is more or less 'I
want to use a browser and associated web server as my GUI API rather
than the underlying native GUI API'
Which is all fine and dandy if that GUI suits the application.
And is one accepts platform independent and WAN ready from the word 'go'.
BUT is not always the optimal paradigm, and usually means writing in
rather badly implemented and poor languages, that are deliberately
crippled for security reasons - javascript/PHP and the like.
That's not to say you can't write web apps but it is possibly making a
rod for your own back if you do.
