I work in corporate and desktop applications are very clearly being phased out in favor of the web.
I see this trend accelerating so for once it seems Microsoft has read the tea leaves correctly.
- tasogare 7y agoI know. But in my opinion it's not just that they read the leaves, it's also they push their own platform towards irrelevance and thus the whole situation is a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. In comparison to say WPF, the web stack was very lacking. It wasn't for example until a few years ago that we got CSS grids. Heck, HTML components are still not mainstream, despite solving a very problem... which doesn't elsewhere.
