I think the root question is: Would the user of our project be better served by a web interface or a fat client? Both have advantages and disadvantages. Or perhaps they use their web browser to set up/manage their databases then they can click somewhere to "Import my project into Genome WorkBench"?

Web client: Run from anywhere w/ no special software. Lightweight and accessible. Awesome.
Fat client: Graphing, plotting, charting, drag-and-drop data manip. Awesome.
