The vast majority of applications built these days involves some semblance of a web component—be it a full-blown browser-based, web application, a smart client that works across the web, or a web service. In fact, the line between a traditional rich client and a web application is blurring. Technologies such as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), Web Services, Smart Clients, and XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language) have ensured this.
You can now build rich user experiences as your needs dictate. Web developers want tools that help them through the common functions of building their application. Let's face it, the HTML, CSS, and XML standards can sometimes be a pain to follow by memory and by hand. Instead, we want experts who guide us.
