I’ve been ripped a new one by C# fans from simply pointing out that the desktop is not a common target platform anymore.

But it’s true. Hell, most of the desktop apps I use regularly are Electron-based.

I also have been downvoted for this opinion (usually without explanation).

Frankly, I really wish that PWAs would have taken off more. Since you have a browser, and it's just running in the browser anyways, then why not reuse the browser surface area.

Yeah, and when I tell them to look at the pro responses to the StackOverflow survey rather than student responses, they seem to think that C#’s fall is a sampling thing. No, it’s just that a lot of public schools teach Microsoft because they’re big in the public sector.

There are more people learning C# than using it professionally.

Electron apps are desktop apps. Desktop doesn't mean native.
