Eh... This over-generalises a bit. That can be said of anything really, including native desktop applications.
- achierius 1y agoIs that true? The things people use native desktop applications for nowadays tend to be exactly those which aren't just neat content displays. Spreadsheets, terminals, text-editors, CAD software, compilers, video games, photo-editing software. The only things I can think of that I use as just text/image displays are the file-explorer and image/media-viewer apps, of which there are really only a handful on any given OS.
- spoiler 1y agoYou could argue that spreadsheets and terminals are just text with extra features! I'm joking though, but web apps usually are more than just text and images too.
