    I really love desktop applications. They do their job, you install it and it’s done. And you can work towards next version and such while people can decide to not upgrade.

    Now everything is cloud, they only maintain one version, they can change it whenever, you can’t get any say, and have to always agree on their policies. And have Internet connection.

    If I could make money making desktop applications, I would love that job. Everything is web and AI now
