I could understand this sentiment if you were doing something from the
command line, but if you are doing an interface in tcl/tk, I think a web
interface fairs better ...
tcl/tk, you have to be on the same machine or risk "network problems"
losing your link ... web, its a stateless connection, so each time you do
something, it re-establishes the connection and performs the operation ...
IMHO, a web interface will always be appropriate in a network environment,
unless you have the luxury of sitting on the same machine you are running
the X app (tcl/tk) on ... *shrug*
