I think the goal here is to target both iOS and Android with just one codebase.
But I also happen to hate this trend, and I see it on Windows too. It seems like companies stopped creating native, good-looking and performant GUI applications built on .NET (or on Win32 which I still would find acceptable), and instead opted for uglier and less performant applications running on some javascript or node.js framework, because those will also run elsewhere.
- charrondev 10y agoCould you give an example or two of a beautiful 3rd part .NET or Win32 app on windows? In my mind many of the standard win-forms-esque looking apps are really ugly or have issues scaling on hi-dpi screens.
