@Mark and timethief: I don’t like browser bloat either :) The Gears team tries very hard to keep the plugin small and focused. We try to create small primitives that others can build on for their web apps, similar to how XMLHttpRequest is a small primitive that has been used to create many new apps. If we’ve bloated then we’ve failed :)

I’m also skeptical about browser “bloat” but we shall see what we shall see. :)

After the disaster that was Google’s desktop search engine on the Mac, I’m skeptical. Nonetheless, I’m always interested in hearing about further integration of desktop and web computing.
