Not to mention, that an HTA is essentially open source software.
You can open it in an editor and study it all you want; to see
what it is attempting to do. The same certainly, can't be said
for a compiled executable. (Well, certainly not with any ease).

I like the concept of an hta for the very use it has been
employed for here with Joe's CSS Button widget. I don't have to
go to the website or try to mirror all the pieces locally. The
web-based application becomes a local application.
