I fully agree. I can see a reason to have a webclient to create a portal for a user that has delegated access to one or more VMs. Even for monitoring the environment from an operational point of view. But to do the main management of your VMs as an admin on a day-to-day basis you need either a client or a really fast responding webclient (which this one is not). The vSphere client isn't blazing fast either but at least it feels more comfortable.

Since I am not the only one saying this I hope VMware will listen to what customers are saying and will make the right decisions. The options I see are:

- either find a way to make the websclient super-responsive and as comfortable as a desktopclient

- or go for the desktop client again

- or start developing for both clients again
