> I realize that a large cohort finds desktop applications uncool today, but I'm just so frustrated with the idea that serious and powerful desktop interfaces need to crippled in order to fit into a "mobile-first" (a.k.a. "lowest-common denominator") paradigm. Yeah, my primary issue with this sort of thing is that there is very little personal A/V content I'd feel comfortable uploading to some random server in the first place, but I agree that there are some tools better suited for the desktop and more specifically a keyboard and mouse. The problem is that a very sizable part of the population doesn't have a desktop. It's not that they think it's uncool exactly but for a lot of people, kids especially, all they have are cell phones and tablets which were designed first and foremost for content consumption. I can't blame developers for wanting to target the needs of that audience to whatever extent they can.
