The trajectory we're on is for browsers to become consumer operating systems and consumer operating systems as currently conceived to, basically, vanish into the background. This is a good thing, you should want it to happen. All anybody ever wanted was a decent UI/UX that runs stuff, and that's just software so there's no real reason, besides historical mistakes, that it can't run the same on every machine. The dream is for Explorer/Finder/etc to no longer exist and for the whole computing experience to be something you just download and customize to your heart's content. Just imagine! A day when you can no longer tell you're using Windows unless you're unfortunately saddled with the job of making something run on it under the hood. That's the only way Microsoft's negligent idiocy is ever going to be shut down, anyway. I honestly can't wait. (... although, hopefully in this new world browsers can run a language that isn't based on Javascript and applications can be built in a language that isn't based on HTML.) |
