> one of the things that makes me steaming mad is how the entire field of web apps ignores 100% of learned lessons from desktop apps I can't agree with this enough. The whole of web development in general really grinds my gears these days. Stacking one half-baked technology on top of another, using at least 3 different languages to crap out a string of html that then gets rendered by a browser. Using some node module for every small task, leaving yourself with completely unauditable interdependent code that could be hijacked by a rogue developer at any moment. And to top it all off now we're using things like Electron to make "native" apps for phones and desktops. It seems so ass-backwards. This current model is wasteful of computing resources and provides a generally terrible user experience. And it just seems to get worse as time passes. :/
