I have a good amount of experience with both winforms and modern web development. I would pick winforms over vanilla html and js. However, I would easily pick vuejs (or any comparable component based web framework) over winforms. Having maintained legacy VB apps with multiple 5000+ line forms, inscrutable multidirectional event chaining, and tangled up business logic and view logic, I've become a huge fan of forced separation of concerns. The big problem is that there is much more of a learning curve. The first useful software I wrote used VB6 and winforms. Getting started was easy and intuitive, with a gentle learning curve. With virtually no experience, I was making neat things in hours. Within days I was making full applications. That says something about the power of that platform. To be truly effective with modern web development took me a year or so. That was after years of professional experience. At this point I can build web applications faster than I can build desktop software, but it took a huge time investment to reach this point, and I had to build multiple tools to make it possible. I agree that there's a niche that needs filling. I want all the benefits of modern web development, and I want a learning curve like VB6 with Access.
