Web 2.0 toolkits are platform neutral. You can define your own GUI with 
javascript & html & css. The interfaces (ajax, javascript, css, html, 
xml) have all been standardized. The objects on the GUI also do not waste 
low level handles like the traditional GUI toolkits do. I am sure that 
more locally usable Web 2.0 desktop applications are coming in the next 
few years.
