Yeah but whatever the browser provides, the OS can also provide. You don't have to reinvent a browser when you code outside of it. Anyway, this conversation had slipped out of the window. Web app UI programming tools still suck compared to what we had 25 years ago and say what you will, there's NO good reason for that.
Which OS? This is talk about cross-platform GUI toolkit.
My point was, "Why X language sucks at cross-platform GUI" is because X isn't JavaScript or TypeScript, and it's not backed by the huge corpo that is Google.

Funny. I can think of few examples, namely Flash, Dreamweaver, and Delphi, but that's more rose-tinted glasses than any objective metric. They all did a few things better than the modern web but failed in so many other ways.
