We all agree here.  The web client is horrendous.  But what did we expect?  Web GUI/Apps can't compare to real native app running on windows.

VMware needs to continue development and support of the native vSphere Client on Windows. :smileyshocked:  There is nothing better for management and VMware shouldn't not phase it out by leaving out features that they include in the crappy web client.

Either they continue full development and support of the solid native vSphere client or we all do our management in powershell and hope we don't typo.  But then, that kinda defeats the purpose of using a GUI.

Web is nice, for browsing and watching.  But it was never meant to do these kind of apps.  It takes java and whole lot of "active" content, plugins, etc.. to stuff a workable app through the web and webclient leaving your browsing experience miserable and your client OS/browser unstable ;  not to mention a ridiculous backend needed to support the webapp that constantly uses up resources leaving the server side unstable as well.

Even with all this, the webapp is laggy and can't seem to do multiple things at once.

All web apps/clients are horrendously horrible when compared to a native windows app.

We really see the difference here because we started with a much better real windows app and are now going backwards to a webapp.
