>because nobody knows how to design a great Windows-native application

In that case it is a question of resources right? Nobody in our org knows how to do that thing well, so we could have them go learn or ... use Electron and get the app out the door...

The choice for an organization with limited resources seems obvious.

I meant to say — Because Microsoft doesn't lead by example and doesn't offer the correct documentation & tooling.

They also don't lead by example in their software.

In basically every single text field/area in Windows, `CTRL Delete` deletes the current word and leaves the space before it, so if you type "Hello Hello", hit ctrl delete, and then type "Goodbye" your result will be "Hello Goodbye".

In Windows Mail, for reasons unknown, it deletes all the way to the last character of the previous word. So if you type "Hello Hello", hit ctrl delete, and type "Goodbye", you get "HelloGoodbye". It's baffling. Why make a unique UI element just for this that's inconsistent with the rest of the operating system?
