To be fair I think habits or being familiar with something (so yes, age) has a lot of impact on many things. But I refuse to believe that's the main reason and sudden boom of JS on desk apps (an general web that replaces desk apps) was more of an alternative to failing local machines and loosing data rather than intended full on replacements. We were at the mainframe stage and now we're getting back there so logical flow would be getting back to local (desk or whatever it's called then). I'm just 31 but I remember big desktop apps doing bunch of serious stuff and they were quite fast, well some of the best ones - there were quite buggy apps as well. But old MS word actually was faster in startup than today's one before 2007 version. I guess we should go back yo C/C++ or continue with Rust. Looking at the whole picture it's apparent that smartphone/tablet apps are the thing while dekstop is getting deprecated for web. I guess once arm or riscv hits desktop well get back to apps

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I hope not either. Not sure if it's an age thing(I'm 44) but I much prefer desktop apps.
