> complex UI that isn't a frustratingly slow resource hog

Maybe you can give ones of competing ones of comparable complexity that are clearly better?

Again, I'm just making a point from existence proof. VSCode wiped the floor with competing IDEs. GMail pushed its whole industry to near extinction, and (again, just to call this out explicitly) Amazon has shipped what I genuinely believe to be the single most complicated unified user experience in human history and made it run on literally everything.

People can yell and downvote all they want, but I just don't see it changing anything. Native app development is just dead. There really are only two major exceptions:

1. Gaming. Because the platform vendors (NVIDIA and Microsoft) don't expose the needed hardware APIs in a portable sense, mostly deliberately.

2. iOS. Because the platform vendor expressly and explicitly disallows unapproved web technologies, very deliberately, in a transparent attempt to avoid exactly the extinction I'm citing above.

It's over, sorry.
