When you write a Windows Program in Lazarus/Free Pascal, you know exactly what it's going to look like when it runs. You know it will continue to run for decades. Its not subject to the whim of an app store or changes to javascript, chrome, internet censorship, or any other forces. It just does its job, quickly and efficiently . It's not going to break because of some breaking change to Python or a library like WxWindows. (Which makes WikidPad unusable in Linux) It's not going out of service because a vendor doesn't want to keep the support hosts online any more. It just keeps working, reliably. Now it should be possible to run any executable in a secure manner, but we don't have CabSec (Capability based security), so we're stuck with web apps instead.
