Modern browsers do fail on ACID tests anyway. display:flex broke old box model. > one can share the millions of frameworks ... For your *desktop* application you need just one, not millions of them. > libraries and muscle memory Not a problem, here I am using Remarkable [1] as it is: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/samples/m..., in other places I may use LeafletJS for showing maps, etc. Essentially all libraries for JS/NodeJS should work out of box. Problem is that desktop UI has different UI model from a web page. Web page / Web app is usually "endless paper tape" opened full screen - has defined width but no height - no need for vertical alignment for example. And desktop UI is usually different - small or vertically and horizontally space limited windows, etc. In Sciter you can show element as popup one - in separate

window that can be rendered outside of your [small] app window, consider this popup: https://sciter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/select-table.p... , good luck with recreating this in browser. By the way that <select> element is defined as: <select> <tr role=option value="1"> <td>Option 1</td> <td>*Short*</td> <td>123456</td> </tr> <tr role=option value="2"> <td>Option 2</td> <td>******* LOONG ********</td> <td>123456</td> </tr> <tr role=option value="3"> <td>Option 3</td> <td>*Short*</td> <td>123456</td> </tr> </select> Sciter supports arbitrary markup in selects, popups, etc. No one of "millions of frameworks" will help you with that. Also this <frameset cols="200px,*"> <section>A</section> <section>B</section> </frameset> will give you split-view out-of-the-box. But web dev's will start looking for frameworks in order to achieve this simple component that browser have internally. TL;DR: Web and desktop UIs use inherently different models. You can share parts between these two different platforms but only parts, really. [1] Remarkable JS: https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable
