With MS tooling and/or paid e.g Devexpress controls average .NET dev is way faster building
LOB apps than average web dev and you don't have to test on multiple browsers.
Additionally if you have to support older browsers you will get extra penalty
Do I have to add how much JS sucks compared to C# ?
There is a trade-off - you can't skin your app as much as you can with CSS.
>You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Please stop talking.
Native toolkits are usually easier to dev once you know them.
It's a conventional wisdom - at least one other person in this thread seems to agree with me on this.
