The only solution, as you might’ve guessed, is the move to WinUI. We already reported that Microsoft is now fully committed to WinUI, with Rudy Huyn preparing a team to make native Windows apps, and so we may see a native Outlook too…

One can dream. The prevalence of web apps pretending to be native apps is unfortunate. Just because your devs “know” JavaScript doesn’t mean it is a good language.

So we are going ful circle back to native code, that has worked much faster for decades.

Web technologies on desktop applications was always a bad idea.

Just you wait until they start using webassembly to make native apps run

and tout it as an advantage! In reality it's only more convenient for the dev, and just uses up more resources and have more moving parts on the client side
