Erm, it's not easier. The level of difficult is roughly the same. You're dealing with the same issues: user interface, network latency, etc.

- dagw 17y agoI wrote my first non-trivial web app a while ago and my first reaction was "wow this is so much easier". Then I started getting into the finer details of actually getting useful performance out of the app with lots of concurrent users and faced all kinds of latency and bandwidth problems, plus problems with javascript behaving differently on different browsers. No longer so much easier. While web apps seemed easier to start with and got me up and running a lot quicker than if I'd written a desktop app, I soon ran into the feeling that was programming on top of a bunch of different black boxes non of them actually designed to do what I wanted to do with them.
