Yes, that's not unusual these days. I wonder if they even care when the user experience gets destroyed just for a bit less development time.

- xorcist 11y agoDoes it web tech really have lesser development time? My experience is definitely the other way around, and I probably have put more hours in on the web side. Web is unbeatable for things like responsive UIs, but when you want pixel based it's hard to beat the development speed of Visual Whatever or Qt Designer.
- king_magic 11y agoSame in my experience. Often times (and yes, this is anecdotal), using a web framework for desktop - or mobile apps - greatly extends development time, when you take all of the littles thing that it takes to build a production-ready system into account.
- andresmanz 11y agoWell, at least that's what I read all the time. I couldn't confirm it, too, but I always thought that's just because I'm perfectly fine with Qt. QML is also pretty good for responsive UI. Maybe these companies prefer the web stuff because most developers know it anyway.
- rhodysurf 11y agoI think its because so many devs are trying to move away from C++. Qt really is great and its sad to me because its a much better solution than these crappy browser apps.
