I do not know about you but the "cannot bring the client with you" issue was resolved with flash drives (tiny ones can hold the biggest clients out there + maps + scripts + whatever you wish). Also, for those with a Linux box it is even easier as you only need to install a Linux-based client (like tintin or similar), run it via ssh and voila, you have all you need there.

Anyway, flash drives made the "cannot bring my client" issue obsolete in my humble opinion.

On the other hand, I believe web-based clients are a great way to introduce new players to MUDs. If they are done with taste and functionality in mind, they might be the hook that will capture the casual visitor by making their life a bit easier.

My two cents.
