Applets suck.
That's not the fault of the applets.
That is not really the point.

What about ..
- Sun's lack of support to get Java cleared for the latest XP
security so trusted applets can again acces the local
file-system?
- Sun's lack of support for fixing the bug where some OS/FF
combos. will cause a page reload on 'scroll-up'?
- that applets take 'forever to load on' ..what was at the top
of this thread - IE/XP?
- ...and so on
The real issue here, is Sun's support for applets at all.
I think Sun now consider applets to have been a bad
idea, and would deprecate them if they dared, but their
lack of active support to fix the plethora of open applet
bugs also says 'web start' to me.
The same is true of web start on other platforms.
Huh? What is the 'same' with web start?
It comes on different platforms? It is not suported
on all platforms? It also has bugs/quirks? (I'd say
'yes' to all three of the above. But I am not sure
what you are refering to.)
