Question

Why are companies still using Windows Forms and WPF applications instead of web applications?

I don't want a discussion. I want only the reasons, because in the last few days I have had a lack of confidence in my job (Windows Forms/WPF), and I think it is good way to change technology/job.

Answer 1

Windows applications have the best user interface and features, but they are available to the smallest audience, while web applications have the most limited user interface features, but they are available to the broadest audience.

It's up to the companies to decide between web and Windows applications that they must develop for their growth...
