Starting with Outlook which brought upon us the plague of top-quoting (hey, you top-quoted, too :-) On a more serious note: I'd not call it a war. It's a mix. On the one hand there is a more browser-centric culture, which doesn't understand what an asset it is to have diverse end-user agents -- and would like to get rid of the friction that (naturally!) entails. On the other hand there are the silos, which like to have more end user control, which you can't have as much if everyone gets to see their content the way they like. It's more complicated (and no, I don't believe people promoting Discourse are just an evil cabal; I'd guess Neil McGovern is a fine guy -- he's just wrong... from my POV, which might be wrong as well).
