Fair enough. But if Adobe thinks all of its apps will be online, than this
too could be. That it'll take a decade is a minor issue. :-) I was looking
for trends.

It can be. And it can and should be more.

Hey, I was born with a tin foil hat permanently attached.
 
Seriously, I'd like to hear your conceptual comparison between Thermo and
Axure (throw in Blend, if you like) as two different approaches to

It depends.
If it didn't, you'd be out of a job.
