Comment on Ask HN: In the next 5 years which markets will grow the most and why?

Comments

I think in the next 5 years desktop applications are going to be a thing again. Frameworks like Qt, electron, nw.js and others have made it very easy for developers to create desktop applications.

I struggle with that suggestion. Which probably means you are correct.

However we are seeing technologies like WebAssembly and WebGL which are directly addressing the benefits of desktop applications. What would a desktop application offer over browser based app?
