You know, none of the mobile developers I work with ever complain about layout and styling. I rarely see fussing about it online either. Makes me think there is indeed something better out there.

If people were actually creating applications, you would see less fussing on the web too. CSS is fine and you can always use a framework like bootstrap or bulma. But they want to reinvent every thing under the sun to make their custom widgets.

Ask that mobile developer to deploy to different OSes, desktop, wide-screen and you'll find out

Seems pretty common in mobile dev, the iPad is hugely popular and widescreen. Many apps also run on Mac desktop.

That would amount to a total of 25% of the devices connected to the internet.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make here

It's easy to do layout right for such a small subset of the market.

Not only does that not make any sense in the context of this discussion, "it's easy to do layout right for 1 billion devices instead of 4 billion" isn't a very compelling argument.

Oh my. Yeah. Your app working only on 1/4 of the devices in place of 100% is not compelling. What a waste of time.

		First you said a mobile app developer doesn't have to worry about various screen sizes. But Android devices come in a ton of sizes and form factors. iPad apps are windowed and resizable, and a native Mac app runs on a system that connects to a monitor of arbitrary size. So give that point was completely bunk, you changed it to something about the total number of internet connected devices. I have absolutely no clue why that is relevant, and you haven't explained why it is either.
