I don't think non-cocoa or non-WPF necessarily means worse quality, you just have to do a bit more custom work. Take Slack (using the Electron framework), or Telegram's Qt client.
Having said that, Qt Quick Controls could definitely be improved by having better default desktop QML UI widgets.
- kitsunesoba 11y agoI use Slack on a daily basis and I can't say I'm happy with it being an Electron app. For what it does it's very resource intensive and the way it disregards a lot of its host OS conventions isn't cool. If I wanted a web app I'd open another browser tab; there's no need for a goofy wrapper with half-hearted OS integration.
- dharma1 11y agoI also use it daily, and agree with what you are saying about it being a resource hog. That said, I find it pretty good for the most part, and being cross-platform for free is killer. I'm on OSX and Linux, most of my team are on Linux, I'm not sure they would have taken the trouble to release a Linux version without Electron.
