> It was built for UX

It kinda really isn't. "Great UX" is not something I associate with any web app. They're generally slow and unresponsive, have atrocious accessibility, and don't integrate with OS native UX concepts.

For super simple apps, sure, you might be able to get away with OS native (or frameworks like GTK). And the look and feel will be better.

That's not really the point I was making. The point I was making is that if you want to do anything more complicated then "push this button", you'll quickly find out how limited pretty much every other UX environment is.

Javascript isn't "Great UX" it is "Great UX ecosystem".
