alt Hacker NewsI understand the user point of view, but some web UIs nowadays are so bad and the app so good that I'm not sure this always holds true.
I do agree that this seems to be exception rather than the rule - so having both is actually nice IMHO.

TurboTax, for all its faults is one of those where the desktop app is better than the webapp they keep pushing.

Unless it’s required (Starlink) or something I check often (not much this day), I don’t use the app version. I prefer grabbing my laptop and use the web version. But best is when there’s an API available so I can write my own tools.

This is by design to force you install the app. Most of these days, I just treat it as a signal to neither use the app nor the website.
