That's okay. I'm talking about the fact that web-stack is built on top typesetting engine (HTML) developed in 80-s for completely different task. Same for hackish scripting solution developed in two weeks and called Mocha (later renamed into Javascript), and an ad-hoc solution for styling HTML called CSS. These three pillars of web stack were never meant or designed to be used for UI prgramming and user-facing apps development. And also about the fact that if anyone wants to offer their app on the web, they have literally no choice but to write software using that stack. Many times the choice between "use web-stack" and "use proper UI framework" boils down to acceptability of slower and more painful distribution process. With web apps there is virtually no distribution process – users download app every time they want to use (because, of course, it makes sense, right?). But with other solutions, there is some sort of distribution process – like Apple/Google App Store or app repositories. Which makes app distribution more secure and efficient, but adds some pain to the process. If you want to reach as many users as possible, you need web, and that's how we all got locked in into writing apps using typesetting engine and pretending that it's okay.
