It's simply because most developers are web developers. They use the programming language and tooling they're familiar with. I do also wish that there wasn't so much of a move to webify everything, particularly since web dev is so prone to constantly changing fads and dependency sprawl. It tends to lead to code/software that breaks all the time.
- metadaemon 6y agoI’d say that JS desktop/web applications are becoming more prevalent due to most alternative GUI frameworks not being as simple and feature rich. I’d also say that this is most likely a side effect of most UI resources being targeted towards JS and therefore reducing the attention all other GUI tooling receives.
