Case in point: Electron. Rather than take some of the lessons learned from the web stack, such as immediate mode UI being a decent default, they just crammed _all_ of it into a Chromium shell and declared it The New Way To Write Desktop Apps. If the web is your first platform you've spent a lot of time on, then what I'm writing will probably just sound grumpy. And part of it is! But, on the other hand, when something new comes along, it may render all of your intimate JS knowledge useless because it isn't JS, and you need to be able to let that knowledge go. Even if the web as a platform sticks around, history shows that whatever comes next might be less powerful than using raw HTML/CSS/JS, but it doesn't really matter for getting most things done.
