Wouldn't really say that I am seeing it from the outside. Have done some web frontend projects last couple of years and also used Electron for a project. Starting an Angular 1 project now is comparable to doing Windows desktop applications in MFC, and Angular 1 is what, 6 years old? And the only satisfying thing about Electron, is hitting package and getting three platform-specific binaries. Otherwise, it is still web frontend development. In contrast, I have had the pleasure of doing desktop development in Qt and WPF, which was quite enjoyable (and the ecosystem has not changed a lot since I left it years ago). Also, MVC and MVVM were UI paradigms before web frontend development. And I am quite sure I heard about ReactiveExtensions before Facebook React. Yes, vanilla Android is terrible.
