It's interesting how people think about and interact with the web. The shift towards viewing the web as something more than a reference library in the mainstream will take awhile but I think eventually it will happen. Chris Thanks!

I think there are two camps of designers emerging. There are those who just want to design the graphics and this may include motion as well, and then there are those who are interested in the mechanics of the web, the code, NOT PROGRAMERS exactly but Front-End Architects. Garret Dimon has been talking about this quite a bit and I think this is what you were talking about. They didn't know about Web Aps because they don't think of the web that way. It is an interesting thought though, I think the separation will grow as the technology gets better and better online. Like your thoughts and I also have had similar experiences.
