That's 20 years old. People like native apps, it's just that GUI programming is generally such a pain that many people avoid it.

I don't think it's the GUI programming, at least not for me. It's the cross platformness, and the fact that everything needs some kind of sync feature these days, plus just the sheer size of modern GUI apps.
