Of the stacks listed I have only used C++/MFC and C++/Qt in anger and my MFC experience (shudder) was quite a few years ago. How could they be? If I kept up-to-date on all the leading Win32 development stacks I wouldn’t have any time left to write software. I don’t even claim that the opinions I express here are accurate or up-to-date. Perhaps that is why some Windows developers are defecting to Mac, where there is really only one game in town (Objective-C/Cocoa).

Plus some others I know even less about, including: RealBasic and C++/WxWidgets. The future of Qt is also less certain after the Nokia acquisition.

C++/Qt – My personal favourite, but expensive and C++ is hardly an easy-to-use language.

There is also the worry that it will be ‘deprecated’ by Microsoft.

Java – You have to have a Java Run Time installed, and questions still remain about the native look and feel of Java GUIs.

VB6 – Abandoned and unloved by Microsoft.

Delphi – Lots of devoted fans, but will CodeGear even be here tomorrow?.

There is no clear leader amongst the development ‘stacks’ (languages+libraries+tools) for native Win32 development at present. So I think I will stick to writing native apps in C++ for Windows for the foreseeable future.

The full set of frameworks weighs in at eye watering 197 MB. Net 3.5 framework comes with a 2.7 MB installer, but this is only a stub that downloads the frameworks required.

Net is less than impressive, especially for the more recent versions. But I question the wisdom of anyone selling downloadable off-the-shelf software based on. So, if Windows desktop apps aren’t going away any time soon, what language/libraries/tools should we use to develop them? It is clear that Microsoft would like us to use a. To me it seems more likely that desktop apps will embed a browser and use more and more web protocols, resulting in hybrid native+web apps that offer the best of both worlds. The only way I see web apps approaching the flexibility and performance of desktop apps is for the browser to become as complicated as an OS, negating the key reason for having a browser in the first place. I don’t expect to be running Visual Studio, PhotoShop or VMWare (amongst others) inside the browser any time soon. The capabilities of web based applications have improved a lot in recent years, but they still have a long way to go to match a custom built native application once you move beyond CRUD applications. In fact, of the thousands of pounds I have spent on software in the last three years, I would guess that well over 90% of it was spent on software that runs outside the browser. From my perspective, as both a buyer and seller of software, I think they are wrong.

I have have heard plenty of people saying that desktop software is dead and that all future development will be done for the web.
