Absolutely. My point is not from user's perspective here, but rather as a developer. WPF has its warts, but it's still a great framework specifically for desktop UI - because it was designed for that from ground up. Doing the same things in HTML/CSS/JS is definitely possible, but requires a great deal more effort.

If you want an analogy, it's kinda like writing web apps in C. Sure, you can do it, but there are much better tools.
