The web barely offers the things you describe. The platforms vary so widely in terms of display and input hardware, the standards change so much and are implemented with enough quirks/incompleteness, that it's really not a stable platform.
What you actually end up with are apps that are really hard to test, very poorly integrated with 100% of the platforms they are used on, hard to find and difficult to use if your connectivity isn't consistent.
And it's only going to get worse as WebAssembly really takes hold.
- tatersolid 9y agoWeb apps I wrote back in 1998-99 in Classic ASP are still in productive use at a few companies. The only real maintenance has been OS and SQL Server version upgrades. How is that not “stable”?
