A lot of software frameworks, languages, platforms claim platform independence and boast it as a selling feature. However, I have failed to understand how could this such an important feature. For example, Java is said to be platform independent – but why should I care when I know that my webapp is going to run on only one platform? Is the overhead of making an application platform independent really worthwhile?

If you know your app is going to run on only one platform you shouldn’t care – you should evaluate the framework using the same criteria as every other framework on your target platform.
