There's a problem with this whole discussion. Participants are mixing criticism of webapps with criticism of Desktop applications which use a HTML5Component as their renderer. I don't know if I should respond, because technologies like DukeScript or Electron do not suffer from this browser compatibility problem. They ship their own renderer/browser. Still we keep getting this.
It's correct, that there are many frameworks. That's because the technology has lots of users. Nobody forces you to use these frameworks. Still some of these frameworks show modern approaches of UI development which make software development, faster, more testable and lead to less code. My experience from porting Swing applications to DukeScript is, that by using the MVVM pattern you can throw away 4/5th of the UI code. And the remaining code will be completely testable with simple unit tests. --Toni -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Glenn Holmer <ce...@kolabnow.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 13.
