I can agree with you that using a browser for input-heavy UI's is a BAD idea.
I don't see what this has to do with CBTracker though, as the only browser related things are reports (Take a look at the screenshots on the CBTracker web page).
I think that HTML/XML as a report output format is a good thing though. I have made some substancial programs in Delphi (for Windows :( ) and that
tool made it easy to make good applications for heavy-duty manual input of data. The reporting tools sucked though, so it was easier to create HTML reports. For the few things that needed precise positioning on the printed page, I used the OS calls directly...
As CBTracker is made with Lazarus (a Delphi clone), it seems that Lazarus is getting to a state where it is usable. Lets get coding :)
