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.

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.

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