Re: Modal dialogs in HTML5

The user can easily and quickly close the dialog and then the main
tab. Two clicks instead of one... don't be lasy :p.
That's a non issue.
It's much more preferable to have a native performant solution than
relying on bloated js libraries, or code everything yourself.

The desktop paradigm is like allowing a program to prevent the user from restarting or shutting down the OS--seems like a bad design decision.
