&gt;No it doesn't! Quit assuming that your MUD is the only damn thing I want

He's not making that assumption.  He is (correctly?) assuming that you'll
use a different interface for other non-MUD applications, based on the
premise that MUDding is a specialised and unique enough activity to
warrant a non-generic (at least at the browser level) interface.

&gt;I want all the same integrated features I'm used
&gt;to, dammit, and your client can most definitely make use of forward and
&gt;back while I'm playing if you use an interface that uses that -- like a
&gt;separate help window on the side in a frame, for example. 

I see how forward/back could be used in a help window.  I fail to see how
they could be profitably used in a gaming window.
