Your examples were a browser, a browser that only shows one website, and the same browser as the previous but it shows a different website. Firefox is fine since its whole purpose is being a browser, but Discord and VS Code could and should be written native (with a better language than the garbage that is JS).
Yeah, I deliberately stated examples that used tech developed for the web. If you’d like me to list more apps that use shitty UI abstractions I can but it didn’t feel relevant to the point I was making.
Firefox, for example, didn’t use web components previously, and instead used a clunky XML based system called XUL. Which also sucked ass and was a chore to use. QT looks like shit. Visual Basic is proprietary microsoft garbage that requires special software and makes me want to die.
What UI framework do you recommend they switch to for Discord, an application built entirely in HTML/CSS and JS intentionally so that it could run in a browser window?
