I fail to see how the front end (Web-based, X-app run remotely but displayed 
locally or X-app run locally) makes any difference to whether the application 
can deal with multiple concurrent users.

Just because the application has a web-based front end hardly makes it less 
tied to an application.

Are the users on Linux, Windows or Mac, or a mixture?  Web-based makes sense 
if you want a non-platform specific frontend, although with recent 
improvements in the cygwin-xfree Xserver, X is fairly non-platform specific 
nowdays.
