> but we absolutely should be pushing back Every modern desktop uses webviews in some capacity. macOS renders many apps with webviews, GNOME uses gjs to script half the desktop. The time to push back was 10-20 years ago, it's too late to revert now. | ||

They’re still fairly uncommon in macOS, mostly being used in places related to cloud service settings. SwiftUI and Catalyst (iOS bridge) are both much more common than webviews, and AppKit remains ubiquitous. Meanwhile on Windows major features like the Start menu are written in React. Worth noting that WebKit webviews also tend to be more lightweight than their Chromium brethren. | ||
