+1. So many cool desktop app ideas showing up in HN every now and then, yet most of them Electron-based web stuff that just feels horrible. At least Qt would be a lot more appreciated. So much missed potential
It's clearly a matter of taste. I, on the other hand, can't stand Qt or apps that try to look "native" in general. At least on Windows, it feels like going back to the previous century. The modern look, known from websites, is the only one that works for me, hence I use Electron. This way I also have full control over the UI and it looks the same on every OS.
Can you explain why? I feel like more people are familiar with web technology and from my own subjective experience it's much simpler than qt for example
