PWA, HWA, Electron, oh my! Making sense of the evolving web app landscape

  Truly brilliant approach to this and it can put MS back in the game if they fully embrace it. Let's face reality, not a lot of companies are going to allocate resources to support UWP development and this gets them their for free. MS really needs to enable fluent design using web tech though. It's how Material Design really took off and changed how people viewed Google in design circles. Fluent Design on the web could certainly do this for MS and potentially attract others to Windows development.

  "We all love web code" - umm well no, many of us the JavaScript, TypeScrpt, as being difficult to debug, non robust. No where near as productive code development as C# and .NET. But I guess the future, as stated in Build 2011, is all Web and HTML5. Whether that delivers quality, robust and productive long term maintainable code is another matter.
