My hope is that the same realization will eventually come to web developers as well. A well written desktop application is much faster, and typically more stable, than a web app that's hosted ... well who can tell where. This isn't to say that web applications don't offer tremendous value, but it is definitely a trade-off worth considering sometimes.

What suggests to you that web developers work on webapps for performance reasons, rather than familiarity with the technology or ease of development (or cross-platform support, or lack of user barriers, etc)?
- FridgeSeal 6y agoThe insane proliferation of SPA’s, electron apps and the general attitude of “dev time is more important than app performance” of the front-end community suggests performance isn’t a real concern.
