I'm at the point where, at least on the Desktop, I'd rather support a Chromium webview powered "native" app than bother supporting web browsers directly.

Why should I be excited about Filesystem API and the like when we can already do that on the operating system directly?

It's really easy to understand the rise of Electron in this context. I don't think Electron is the final form, however. There's nothing wrong with web technology - my favorite browser is Firefox.

I love the web but, from an effort perspective, the justification for supporting all these browsers, ESPECIALLY when some of them half ass it, is just not there. It ranges from frustrating to a complete waste of time.
