This really isn't a fanboyish idea, I hope, but doesn't anyone else think that Windows should support some kind of javascript UI natively? One can just feel that they aren't improving their own dialogs etc as fast as they would like because of implementation complexity...


Yes, we absolutely need an order of magnitude slowdown and more memory use on our desktops.

Why should Electron users have all the fun?


Just take a look at Sql server management studio, not a ui refresh in what... 20 years?

Some Ux in regedit?

Run dialog not permitting ctrl-arrows?

Really, we need to wake up and realise the fact that the ui experience in windows is not good enough at all.


I get your drift but I just feel development of UIs all over the place (in windows) have stagnated and they are too costly to modify


I had hoped we were moving toward that with Universal Windows Platform apps. :3
