My hate for this behavior grows with each passing year as more and more of the "apps" I use become browser windows.

This is why I regard ChromeOS with fear. Because it really does feel like everything is just converging on the browser as the OS, and a browser is not a goddamn OS.

The browser is effectively an OS - and it’s not very productive to cling to the notion that it isn’t one

[wpm]

It's not very productive to build an entire OS on top of and JIT compiled on top of my already mature and functional OS. It's a waste of my time.

And if it is an OS, it's also just not one where I can be very productive.

[klysm]

It is productive though because it’s a universal platform. The economics of it are unavoidable
