Please no. GitHub for Mac is an extremely solid, smooth, light little native app and I would hate to see it vanish in favor of a heavy chromium-based monstrosity. I don't use Windows but if I did I'd prefer a WPF or .NET app over a chrome wrapper there, too.
Common core+separate native UIs will always be the best sort of cross platform app in my eyes.
- mwcampbell 11y agoI'm sure you're right about a native Cocoa app feeling nicer than a Chromium-based one. But on Windows, WPF is notorious for poor performance; a Chromium-based app might actually be better on that platform.
- kitsunesoba 11y agoWould .NET be preferable to WPF?
- achr2 11y agoWPF is part of .Net.
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoWPF is a .NET GUI framework. WinForms is too, but it's a simple wrapper for the Win32 API, so it performs much better.
