I think the concept is sound. Unfortunatelyit's a alot of changes on the 
UI side(not sure how much code could be salvaged/moved to the new UI 
implementation). I think in order for this to be accepted by the 
management, an approach where thenew and old UI can coexist and 
individual screens are being converted one-by-one is needed.

Another thing you don't mention in your reasons for the change is that 
pure-js UIs are testable(or are significantly easier to test).
