   Yes, nice ! I think it’s a case of horses for courses. Java may suit one purpose, javascript another. .Net may be suitable for one task while other technologies may be more suitable in other circumstances. I’m finding this in my project. It’s main defining factor is public outreach to as many people as possible so the project concentrates on technologies like OpenLayers and anything that can be run on lower spec machines that don’t have expensive hardware needed to run 3D apps. So I think it’s the myth of the “what is the best?” argument. Well, it depends what you want to use it for.

   I totally agree, for low spec devices Earthbrowser is a good option, if you have a decent spec windows pc use .NET, others can use Java, the downside being the applet isn’t instant, whereas flash or javascri[t pretty much is.
