We would have to probably ditch the content creation applications we have right now too. I mean, Electron and web based apps are nice for stuff like a weather widget, simple music player or a gallery application, but I don't see it being used for 3D editing applications, audio editing applications and similar uses. There aren't even any good UI frameworks for doing html desktop like looking applications, most are designed for mobile with their big buttons and touch optimization.

I can think of 3 web-based creation tools that are quite powerful: * SoundTrap for audio editing: https://soundtrap.com * Clara.io for 3d modeling: https://clara.io * OnShape for CAD modeling: https://onshape.com

They shine especially on collaboration and sharing functionalities.

> 3D editing applications

You can do 3D editing on the web, at least in a fairly basic way.
