Thanks!  Sorry for requesting such a kludge :\

For me, it's the latter.  Ur/Web's ability to do *everything* radically
simplifies development.  It enables you to work from many different
machines, without network access, without root, etc.  It allows
collaborators to pull your code, compile, then be up and running
independently with minimal hassle.  It improves modularity since you can
build a component with very few dependencies on outside systems; you just
drop it in and everything works. etc.

I am unaware of a competing system that offers these benefits.
