I’m not sure which is worse. I mean most desktop programs are just glorified web browsers anyway (i.e Electron)

But you can use more shortcuts!

I hate editors in browser. With Chrome at least --kiosk turns them in proper apps. In Firefox it’s impossible to turn off browser shortcuts and use them to work.

What barbarian do they think I am, using a mouse to do stuff on my editor. I need long complex absurd keyboard shortcuts to function

Allow me to introduce: Firefox vim keybindings extensions. So many more shortcuts if you don’t need to worry about typing characters in normal mode.

What do you mean, “most?” Electron apps are the vast minority of desktop apps.

They are probably referring to the amount of progressive web apps that are out now.

As long as you don’t check the task manager.

I mean look at the most used applications these days, discord, Spotify, teams, steam, vscode, slack, etc

They might not all exactly be electron but theyre all secretly browsers.
