> the only reason html/css/js exist is because it is entrenched It wasn't entrenched in the mid 1990s, heck, it arguably wasn't entrenched into the early 2000s when some people were trying to move apps to *ML, or another VM besides the one that failed in the 90s. None of the alternatives won out. I'm not going to argue that making in-browser apps is a walk in the park, but I do think that a lot of people making arguments about how app development was a solved problem for native OS are both (a) overstating their case (b) seemingly blind to the advantages that html/css/js have along with the liabilities.
