Its much harder to create a decent webapp than a desktop app. For example, you can easily drag and drop together a semi-decent UI using winform/Android IDE in a couple minutes. The time it take construct a decent UI for the web is at least a magnitude longer. It's simply easier to delegate the "simple" web stuff to CMSs and move the harder logic bits to a native app where you don't have to worry so much about client-server problems, rendering etc.
- whoisthemachine 12y agoEditing Android UI's is one of the most painful programming experiences I've recently gone through. Microsoft, otoh, has done a great job with UI editors since the Visual Studio 2008 days, especially with WinForms. But it still lacks standard behaviors that HTML has in spades. I constantly find myself surprised by strange/unexpected behaviors with different controls in both XAML and Winforms! HTML I've been doing for some 15 years, and it's still as easy to understand and edit as ever.
