Do you prefer to have everything as a native application then?

    I guess there's a blurry line between an "application" and a web site. But, generally, for open source applications, I'd rather them be native. Preferably, the applications would actually be native (e.g. Qt, GTK, Jetpack Compose, etc).

    No, there's a clear distinction between a native application and a website. I could go on and on about my hate for native app and it's difficulty to develop for more than one platform, but the point is only SOME apps needs to be native IMHO. Apps like CAD, multimedia editor and player, server application, and developer toolchain. Something like instant messaging, video conference, multimedia streaming, forum can be a web app.
