- Silhouette 14y agoI know. It is bad enough that we're so obsessed with web apps today that some people actually consider tools like HTML, CSS and JavaScript to be good for application development. But if native applications are going to look even worse... Fortunately, they won't, because real people still have real work to do, and user interfaces that look like (and have similar power to) a five year old's toys are going to suck for that. Microsoft will want everyone to move over to Metro, just as they wanted everyone to use their new shiny technology last year and the year before that, but they'll still support the stuff that people write real applications with, for the same reason that you can still write native apps in C++ instead of using .Net and C# for everything. In fact, most of Microsoft's own big money spinners don't tend to use their shiny development technologies, and they never have. Like the incompetence of politicians, this is one of those universal constants that brings hope even when everyone is saying really stupid things. :-)
