Prepopulating with defaults, client-side validation and obvious
direction of program flow is what makes desktop applications, with
any degree of complexity, superior to web applications. That much
web enabled client-side code or even most multi-tiered web
applications make data entry dog slow. Anyone who can remember how
fast DOS data entry applications were, years ago, will agree.
Business applications are successful only if they show positive
return on investment.

AJAX is changing that, but at the cost of increasing the weight of
the pages (i.e., all that JavaScript means loading the page takes
longer). This is no problem for Intranet apps, but lots of people
are still on dialup.
