Just sounds like grass-is-greener hopefulness to me.

If it was just a matter of a fresh start with a new language/stack, then Android/iOS/macOS dev would be compelling experiences. But they're not. And they're changing just as much, bandaging over themselves so much that you end up credentializing in a whole lineage of idiosyncrasies worse than just putting a <select> in a modal, except unlike the web you're just building something that works on an iPhone.

Clientdev is hard.

Try Delphi/Lazarus, Qt or maybe even VisualBasic.

Client Dev has regressed since those days, now it's in a state where devs can't even imagine anything better, but we clearly had that...
