There is an HTML5 Citrix client and it's a more terrible experience in every way. I hear there is an official HTML5 RDP client now too that is probably the same. Even newer "cloud-native" entrants like Amazon WorkSpaces have their own thick clients, for a reason.

To be honest I have no quarry against RDP. You download a sandboxed app from the store and just use it. Meanwhile Citrix offers an installer that puts 3 services on your computer and then you need to run another another installer to be able to use conferencing.

Why does shadow.tech and even self hosted Rainway can offer a seamless gaming desktop experience on a simple client or browser while billion dollars Citrix lots of services running on background?
