I don't have professional experience in either desktop UIs or web UIs. When I tried making an app using the native macOS UI toolkit, I kept running into issues related to a lack of online discussion and books that were less complete than I expected. I think this is mostly just a symptom of there not being much native UI development happening in the west. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. I don't hear about this often, but I've heard that native apps are still common in China. I bet they don't have this problem. I bring this up because I notice a lot of the time on HN this gets attributed to web UI people being easier to hire and unwilling to learn native UI.
