there's really nothing wrong with making your native "application" just embed a webview control for its UI. CSS sucks, but it sucks less than a whole lot of other UI frameworks you might consider.

I love how Web devs think everything fits exactly into their round hole. Mr Web dev, you are in the right thread.

Drag and drop is really straightforward. You set the property that says an element can be dragged, and then you define event handlers on valid places that it can be dropped.

there's room for both, and a lot of times native apps will give a better user experience than web apps

but theres a ton of stuff that works just as well if not better in the browser and you should consider it

Chromium 40 makes this even easier, you can implement a server as an extension with service workers hooking every call. I presume that helps AdBlock.

I actually shipped webuis with a single small JAR file, a colleague has similar with a Windows EXE that also supports web sockets. Pretty nifty actually as you can deploy remotely.
