What's the native interface when Apple/Google/Samsung changes that every year (or two years)? What's the native interface of a kiosk at a car wash? (Where we used a touch screen running full screen Firefox and the users saw the same thing as they saw on their phone where they managed their wash coupons and whatevers.)
On desktop I don't run slack, discord, teams (and whatever wants to run separately) separately, if something that doesn't do meaningful local I/O and/or computation cannot run in a browser, then I don't use it if I can avoid it at all. And I hopefully can keep my streak of not developing nor shipping any forced electron based mess.
VSCode is fast. I'm surprised too. While native Windows things are just slow all over (with a beefy modern desktop).
Seriously, how the fuck can the start menu be this ridiculously slow? I have like 50 things installed, and I use about 5 of those. And it takes forever to find those as I start typing. (I have KDE flashbacks!)
Oh and super native Firefox is also a disaster when it comes to speed (I search for the same bookmarked pages in the awesomebar - the combined location and search bar, I have disabled the search part, because the UX was horrible, so it should just search in the local recency shorted LRU cached list of pages ... and it's dog slow and dumb).
Big billion dollar unicorns push those meaningless updates, not small teams (at least in my experience).
