Haha, I did enjoy this comment. It's kinda fair, but also kinda not.
At each step developers are trying to create the best thing they can with the tools at their disposal. There will always be a tradeoff between flexibility and ease of use. There's a reason Electron exists — the browser has limitations that are easier to work around in Electron. There's a reason we moved to putting stuff online, we could write it once and distribute it everywhere.

Well, yeah. The point is that we don't have a consistent definition of "best" that's constant over time. Only by changing your direction all the time can you end up walking in circles.
