I was coding UI stuff for desktops in the 90's, and I'd take browser programming in 2018 any day.

  At first the products were buggy, but got better with each release. Even now our Oracle Forms programmers get stuff done about 7x faster than the Dot-Netters, and with about 1/7 the code. It's embarrassing: RSI* City. The OF apps are ugly, but they "gitter done". (Oracle bleeped up the Oracle Forms installation process, but that's another story.) * Sometimes called "carpal tunnel syndrome"

    So you save money on a programmer only to lose it on the people using it because of the UX.

      I don't follow. To clarify, by "ugly" I meant aesthetically ugly, not usability problems. (Or at least "not fashionable".)
