While this may be true for casual users, for dev native products like Codex, the desktop experience actually matters a lot. When you are living in the tool for hours, latency, keyboard handling, file system access, and OS-level integration stop being “nice to have” and start affecting real productivity. web or Electron apps are fine for experimentation, but they hit a ceiling fast for serious workflows -- especially if the icp is mostly technical users

Welcome to HN. While I'm sure you have something to contribute here, your profile has a lot of LLM-generated comments, which are not welcome here given that this is mostly a place for humans to interact. Thank you.

Well unfortunately, that’s just how I write. None of my posts are LLM-generated, so I'm sorry they come across that way.

Apologies.
Still good enough for the majority of the users.

Fair, I think I'm certainly in the minority. Especially now more then ever with an increasing amount of non-technical people exploring vibe coding, 'good enough' really is good enough for most users

VSCode is arguably one of the most if not the most popular code editor these days…
And they're pretty much the only example of an embedded browser architecture actually performing tolerably and integrating well with the native environment.
