Mature HTML5-based vSphere Client can't come soon enough

The new HTML5-based vSphere Client promises to fix the issues that have plagued the Web Client for years, but it isn't quite ready for its moment in the sun just yet. When you use a single management console for a large portion of your IT infrastructure, it's imperative that the console be reliable and responsible. VMware's struggled with this for some time: Issues with Adobe Flash caused its vSphere Web Client to crash, and users have long complained that both the Windows vSphere Client and Web Client are too slow. VMware attempted to resolve this with the new HTML5-based vSphere Client in vSphere 6.5, but that client is still incomplete. VMware has said the next release of vSphere will include a feature-complete version of this HTML5-based client to replace all previous vSphere clients -- hopefully, that's true. Like many other vSphere users, I'm very familiar with the Windows vSphere Client application.
