Well, you can do the front-end in Java as well. You know how to use Java and there are controls, libraries, etc. available for front-end (assuming GUI) development. But, you can also use PHP for that. It is not the typical use for PHP, but that is why some clever people created GTK. Take a look here: http://gtk.php.net/

Then again, what is the problem with having the UI in the browser?
