it's crazy that we've reached the time where this is a question. it just feels like web browsers are just worse operating systems but that's somehow where everyone thinks things should be. i generally hate using web-apps. the usability and performance just isn't there, and the web was not built for this use case. even now, it's a terrible experience. for industrial engineering, scientific, creative jobs and more, almost everything you use aside from confluence is a desktop application. visual studio, visual studio code (line is blurred, but it's still a desktop app), solidworks, opera, other modeling software, xilinx vivado, matlab, visio, simulink, houdini, touchdesigner, unreal engine, logic, pro tools, studio one, VSTs, office suite, control applications, perforce visual tools, git gui clients, custom internal tools, etc. all the real work gets done in desktop apps and yet people keep saying desktop apps are a thing of the past. i truly don't understand what people's end game with web browsers and applications are.
