No wonder everyone is building web apps. Operating systems are doing their best to make themselves obsolete.

i think you meant everyone builds web apps because they want to target all platforms / hardware, they don’t care about performance (cpu usage, memory usage, etc), and they are easier to “deploy” in many respects.

Pros and cons to each. Not everything needs to be a native app. Some things SHOULD be native apps…i’m looking at you slack and friends.
