I'd say the most basic advantages a web app has for a user are no install, cross platform support and same look and feel across those platforms. These advantages may not seem all that important to the technically inclined but they are

Outside of the usual desktop UI libraries, Kivy is worth mentioning. It's best suited to touch and graphical applications. It is becoming more standard to use a use a whole web stack with a framework like React or Vue for UI. On deskto
