Not only lost productivity, but getting executive buy in to invest in WPF was difficult after Silverlight.

Kinda joking, kinda serious, but all the Microsoft UI changes in the last 10-15 years have definitely helped enterprise IT adopt internal web applications. :)

Very true. I used to be a desktop dev but since Windows 8 MS has convinced me it’s better to do web stuff.

It’s fun to think that, after all these years, we are back to screen-oriented terminals (browsers) accessing mainframes (cloud apps)…

I loved the 3278.

And now we write “screen scrapers” to get information from html instead of the terminal emulators. Rinse. Repeat.
