LMAO. No such thing is happening, the web isn't losing anything nor does the rise of apps on mobile threaten the web.

> the reality is that proprietary application platforms are taking over the application market

That doesn't even make sense as proprietary application platforms have always owned the application market.

> No such thing is happening ...

You're asserting that there hasn't been a significant management and hiring shift in engineering departments over the past 5 years, moving away from what became a web monoculture in the post-90s environment, from roughly 2000-2005?

> That doesn't even make sense as proprietary application platforms have always owned the application market.

So you admit the web is ill-suited to serve as an application platform, and is failing to acquire traction in that space despite considerable but ill-focused efforts to the contrary?

You can't even stay on topic without constantly moving the goalpost.

I asserted no such thing, learn to read.

I admit? What kind of stupid opening is that? Show me where I said anything about the web serving as a great application platform over native apps.

You know what, never mind; you're an argumentative ill tempered child who doesn't know how to have a discussion properly. Have a nice day.

One of us has stuck to discussing the topic, the other, discussing the person. Good day.
