Right. This whole thing reminds me of that one "men will do literally anything rather than go to therapy" meme, except it's "developers will do literally anything rather than make a desktop app". And yes, I read the author's disclaimer about how this isn't just a desktop app, and no, I'm not persuaded that this is filling a need desktop apps didn't already fill.
