I love when you guys come into a thread about web tech and dump on it.<p>Web tech isn&#x27;t &quot;going backwards&quot; any more than a flag-ship phone is &quot;going backwards&quot; because it&#x27;s not as powerful as a high end desktop PC.<p>They solve different problems.<p>A browser based program is sandboxed, can be instantly &quot;downloaded and installed&quot;, runs on all architectures, runs on all major platforms, runs on both desktops, laptops, phones, tvs, and anything else that you can run a browser on.<p>And even if it was verifiably worse in every single technical way, it could STILL be &quot;progress&quot; if it&#x27;s easier to use than the alternative.<p>It&#x27;s not the same, stop acting like it is.
