1. I would never, every write an applet for anything because browsers don't come with a JRE installed. It's that simple - no built in support. 2. After that, applets came across as cludgy because of their terrible startup time. It was like when you open a pdf file now - you sit there and groan to yourself, know the browser window is going to lock up. Perhaps they've fixed/helped with this, but then see point #1.
