A shitty version, you mean. Same as Office 365 vs. the native Office.
The web versions of most native apps are very, very bad at the moment.

Everything you wrote here applies to most languages, including .NET, Java, C++, Rust and others.
The fact that you and your colleagues know other technologies does not mean they are the right approach.

I think that is exactly what users don’t want. Users want stability and quality, not feature churn.

Direct me to a rich Rust GUI application which targets the web, Linux, and iOS. Speaking to team tech familiarity, our front-end web engineers will be thrilled to get cracking with Rust. That'll be a sight! > I think that is exactly what users don’t want. Users want stability and quality, not feature churn. I'm glad you know what users want. I generally prefer them to tell us, and incidentally, "feature churn" never comes up in such discussions. What user stories do come up can be completed remarkably quickly in our Electron stack with stability and quality too.
