Maybe, but even on desktop I nearly always prefer a native app over a web app.

And in which cases specifically do you prefer a web app on desktop? I can't think of any that could possibly be better.

I can think of the "desktop" apps that are actually a bundled web browser like Slack and Skype. I utterly detest them - slow and without proper native menus and memory hogs.

If only a native toolkit had been available to build the UI........ oh wait....
