> I think HTML is bad. I think DOM based development is bad. I really feel that Desktop UI development is much more mature and has much less legacy to compete with when developing a web UI.

I secretly hope this becomes true. I always think back to how nearly everything done on the frontend are essentially hacks to really sex-up a document description language for scientists.

I think it would be really neat if we did end up building UI's in a responsive way like you describe. It would feel more like the right tool for the right job. But that seems so far away when I start to think about what it would take to get there.
