I've been working on software that meets at least most of the objectives this outlines, and for the same reasons.

The concept was blown off by my "Group Mentor" in Startup School last October, which was a bit disappointing, but it's good to see it being discussed here and maybe it will get some legs as time goes on.

I'll be releasing a simple app soon that, hopefully, demonstrates the advantages in a way that's easy to digest. At this point I'm not expecting much positive feedback though. It doesn't use any of the current trendy tech and there's nothing truly new or whizbanging about it. It is, however, fast, solid, easy to develop and modify, and runs on any server without having to install anything other than a web server.
