In 2017, how many users are looking for desktop apps?
Still plenty.
Seriously?
Seriously. Anything that needs any sort of meaningful interaction with a local file system or devices, or a rich UI for example.
I think that you are dreaming or have not exposed your network properly to fulfill your needs of what to do with a "system."
have worked with Document Management systems that acted on and then moved files because they were in a specific folder. That location also enacted a special set of rules for those documents.
Printers? We have 300-400 printers on our network that all receive correct documents because the direction is not a part of the report but of the application that made the output.
UI? Using css, jquery, as well as a host of other javascript frameworks UI is a look and feel that you pick and it is applied, <div> is your friend when you reference the class or Id.
