We too would strongly recommend the GTK Client.

It is more stable and once you know the processes of OpenERP, it's much 
faster to work in.
It does not depend on browser manufacturers, where changes in 
interpreting HTML may be made, and 3rd party addons (to the browser) may 
interfere.

From our experience with other software, web usage may be nice to have, 
but in company environments, "real" clients are much easier accepted and 
advertise a certain seriousity.

We have contacts to multiple companies developing custom made software, 
for specific customer needs. Newer projects are now being developed 
mostly as Java or Delphi (yes, sadly that still lives... :)) 
applications (some even in RPG), and they stopped using web based 
systems, as the customers would not like to place their business 
applications on the same platform as Facebooks Cow Clicker.

We rely heavily on those, and having these interface possiblities was 
one of the main factors why we started using OpenERP at all.

We interface OpenERP with different existing software packages involving 
our production, from e.g. external lot tracking softwares to project 
management systems.

Losing or even limiting these features would mean we can't advance to 
any newer version of OpenERP, and we would soon have to look into 
alternatives to ensure continuity of our interfaces.

Is there any list or forum where plans like these are discussed in 
detail, so we might inform ourselves on short notice and for the long run?
