Imo velocity and user experience aren’t mutually exclusive, as a developer I can respond to user requests way faster with web technologies.

As a consumer vscode is a perfect example of why the ecosystem has value, are there other products that fill the same roles?

Maybe something like tauri will unseat it eventually but the ability to spin up a new product in relatively short order is good for everyone.
