Well, Egg is such a terrible online bank that I don't have any issue
with saying so on a large public list. One thing they didn't know a few
years ago was that things like banking should use stable and proven
technology, otherwise bad things happen. Apparently, they still haven't
figured that out.

The set of needs and requirements in this area is vast and has yet to be
fully comprehended. It seems to me only natural that people would
experiment a bit all over the place in different ways (XUL/XBL, RCC,
BML, XAML...)
