Shouldn't this be a native desktop application versus foisting it onto web clients? If we're talking "fully featured"?

  This is where the paradigm shift is coming. Your past experiences say it must be a desktop native app, but I believe things like WASM, web workers etc will allow such things to run comfortably in the browser. I really do believe people will build for the browser more than they will for the desktop because it's a more universal platform. I can even imagine a future where, for the majority, the only native app you have on your machine is a browser, and everything else is some variant of a PWA. I really feel this will happen very soon.

    This sounds like a nightmare.

      Why? I can't wait for this world where everything can run on Linux.
