He's not talking about cancerous in-browser webapps. He's talking about actual clients.

  You mean clients i can hardly update, and most often clunky as well? I dont see the improvement. I can use web apps on any platform without waiting for the company to do it. I refuse to install apps on my devices.

    > You mean clients i can hardly update Yes! You dont have to update if you dont want to. Thats a feature. Of course, the rise of proprietary APIs over interoperable protocols has lessened that advantage.

      What more features? All can be done in javascript, without making users install garbage, without spending extra resources. I prefer companies spend their resources on improving the product instead of implementing same thing thrice. What most people dont realize is web apps are a boon to linux people. Most companies would not develop for linux at all.

Funny, this is exactly my issue with web apps. I don't want to use software where the engineers have done a poor job reimplementing things the system provides for free.

          Build the tools to enable them. Dont blame engineers lack of experience on the language. I used libreoffice early on, was not impressed. Same story.
