I take this approach personally. I make it a rule to run as little software as possible. Sadly, every business seems to want an "app" for everything: I know this from being in the applications business. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't get away from the web browser, and it has to be Chromium.

I dream of a future where my bank (for example) publishes API documentation which can be used to successfully implement a working first-class client. That client can then be an actually-good piece of software.

The web is an awful platform for applications, and the only reason for its success in this space was ubiquitous and consistent deployment.
