Seems like a comment comes up about XUL every few years and I can't help but be sniped by it. A xulrunner app was my first job out of college in '08, good memories, fun dev environment!
replyMy company, me as a solo dev, back in 2003-04 built a "single page app" using XUL and iframes.
Still has some 200 monthly users, the poor bastards. They have to download Firefox 3.6 iirc, and it only works in an 800x600 window.
replyXUL was beastly back then though.

replyOut of curiosity, what does that app do to convince people to jump through such hoops? Would you mind sending a link to it?
It's a full management app for recruiting companies.
replyThere are still 3 companies that use it (since 2008), so their employees don't have a choice really. The app does a lot, so to stop using it the companies would need to hire and migrate to 3-4 other services. I reckon SAP and the kind could do everything as well, but these companies are too small for that.
There isn't a website or anything anymore for me to show, and I haven't been involved in it for over 10 years.
Quite common, lots of old software that is custom written lives on, be it java apps, old vb stuff, etc
