But I already know how to write a web app, I don’t know how to write a desktop app. It’s faster to just write and wrap a web app, and as far as most people can tell, it works just fine.
To me, this argument always sounds like someone is being forced or threatened into creating a desktop app. It was never supposed to be easy; the goal is to create an app that users would want and will actually use.
I have been programming since 1986, have enough knowledge across several platforms, even though in 2025 distributed systems + Web UI pays the bills, I can still easily code native in a couple of UI frameworks.
Doing native UIs is only a matter of actually wanting to learn how to do it.
