I’m confused, do you not use desktop apps?

  How many new desktop apps do you use (first released in the past ~5 years or so), and how many of them aren't Electron? Desktop GUI software is a pretty small niche. The web has eaten nearly everything, and games don't use native UI stuff.

    yes, the only market for new apps would be CLI, games and scientific computing/technical niches

    The post I replied to implied that the rate of production of them is decreasing, and you are claiming this too. I’m not convinced about that.

  I did in the early days when the web sucked, then dhtml and web2.0 started and I completely swapped. Now I'm starting to again. I like them more the web apps. But no one is making them anymore
