Within the enterprise it seems that a lot of application used in internally are better suited to be used within a browser. For example, CRUD type applications like timesheet entry.

In the public space, people don't want to even take the time and are leery of downloading anything like an executable jar. People want to instant gratification of being able to play/use something in the browser. Wordle gets nowhere if it was an executable jar.
