As opposed to dodgy windows-only installable software from some weird site to flash devices instead? I’ll take my chances with webusb, thanks.

I love that, in order to reprogram my very expensive model locomotive, I not only have to buy a special device (ESU LokProgrammer) but I can also only use said programmer with windows.

Yeah I could have used some other decoder, but they all have limited functionality compared to Lol sound

There's no real reason a future iteration of the LokProgrammer couldn't run a simple webserver, or connect to Web USB.

This also all applies to most PLC programmers. Proprietary crap you have to run on Windows, just to build ladder logic
