They've got client machines that are everything from a smart phone to a huge HDMI monitor. To be fair, it does work on those and everything in between (wrt size). It's just an immature technology but just like HTML, it will get better. The original HTML wasn't intended to be anything like it is now - it was written to be a mark-up language, not a use interface in the manner that it has become. I was resistant to even try it when it came out. I was happy with gopher and FTP. Things have certainly changed.
