Microsoft Office apps, Java IDEs, text editors in general. Most of the time I spend with software is with non-web-UI applications.
To the extent that the battle has been won, the apps it has been won with are nevertheless second-class compared to native-level usability.

> text editors in general
Definitely not in general, VSCode and Cursor are both webtech and are extremely popular. Only terminal editors are native and then beyond that you have things like SublimeText, Textmate which are extremely niche now.

Yeah those and XCode I guess, Java IDE is extremely niche compared to webdev.
