Thanks for the context. It appears that it's more a matter of business model than an effective superiority of java over webdev for doing UI.
We, as developers working for companies that sells enterprise software "on the shelf", are not looking after pixel-perfect native UI and lowering customer friction during a project, as you seem to do (no offense, I can respect that).
What drives us is (i) innovation in solving enterprise problem, (ii) delivering a smooth, cutting-edge UX, (iii) offering the most affordable price while still being profitable.
If you consider those goals then a stack based on JS desktop application makes suddenly a lot of sens (lower development time, easy deployment, etc.)
Have you considered the possibility that, in some years, you could be the one that will be trying "to catch with the web"?
- pjmlp 12y agoI am coding since the web was born and was ridding the .COM and web 2.0 waves in web development. I am quite comfortable in web development, it doesn't mean I like it. As I said everything goes. A native desktop .NET project today, a C++ embedded project in a few months and then a Web one. So I never was, nor will be, a language X developer.
