Office is using web technologies because they don't want to rewrite their code for Office 365, so native users get the Web stuff on a Web widget instead of a proper native UI.

Which is kind of tragic, given how Office was the testing ground for many Windows UI components.

????? Nobody is saying that there aren’t webviews in office I am saying that your statement that most of the desktop office ui is now non native is false and misleading. After reading your other comments in the thread it seems like more of a personal vendetta than factual statements. lmao

Nope, you're the one interpreting that way, I only mentioned that they are adopting Web stuff as means to reduce code duplication between Web and desktop, via Webviews exactly.

So unless you're on the Office team and want to tell us anything, please do lmao.

Who cares if it just works? Who cars if it's made in Flash or in COBOL when it just works? What's sad about this? It just works right?

That's the problem: it does not work. I don't care if the programm is written in assembly or in rust as long as it functions properly. But when the blinking cursor stops blinking, when the scrollbar or window border is so thin that i cannot select it with a mouse, when the title bar is so cluttered with buttons that any click brings up a menu instead of being able to double click or click and hold, then _it matters_.

I stop here in order to not throw profanity at MS engineers.
