I think a web-based online editor that doesn't rely on a plugin would be a  
good thing. While I don't think a gwt app is ideal, perhaps it will  
inspire someone with good html5/canvas/js/svg skills. That sort of thing  
could be especially useful for mobile devices that don't have Flash, but  
do have a decent web browser.
