>> Probably you are underestimating how complex is to build a GUI for different platforms
Presumably you're getting at platform-specific differences. I'd suggest these are no longer as important as once deemed. Pretty much all desktop platforms are currently looking dated with respect to their mobile counterparts. So anything that looks 'modern' across all of them (e.g. good design + Electron) actually feels like sweet relief.
(If you meant something else, please correct me).
>> ... and also underestimating how much browser technologies have been improved integrating zillion of years of experience.
No, that's absolutely the point that I'm making. I'm suggesting browser tech is superior, largely due to the insane amount of engineering effort piled into it by Google et al.
>> Also, you can't compare how easy is to develop a desktop UI with Windows Forms in Visual Studio to how difficult is to build an HTML UI.
Windows Forms in not cross-platform. The VS UI to build it is great, but the end result looks dated and only works on Windows.
I say the two are comparable because, with talent applied, the HTML version looks better and works everywhere, so there's a net win for devs that embrace web.
So you agree with me, the current state of UI development for the web requires more tools that makes you doubt about the best option for development. I only mentioned VS as a clear example of a good design tool but QT also has an alternative.

Yes I can, having done both :)
