That's fair. I am just upset with a general shift away from simple, accessible cross-platform GUI libraries to complicated web apps. Literally any GUI toolkit has a textbox widget. You could make a cross-platform qt text editor in 100~ lines of Python. > as much as I like Firefox, that doesn't seem to me to be NotepadJs's doing. Well NotepadJS chose to create a PWA that can only be used in Chrome and Opera. Though like you said, it's just a pet project.
