It's awesomely simple. Even as a non-web application I think it's worth it:)
It can be a great way how to find out what are we missing in SDK, what is not effective enough for big scale usage, debugging, etc..

I wouldn't hesitate much to throw the current user portal away and replace it with this. One small bug in current portal takes longer to fix than this whole thing…

Thanks,
