I am not fan of React. It is great to have something like React for people that aren't primarily into software development, because of html and css and js (many designers and hobbyists got into programming with those) but I do not appreciate it. The fact that I do not have (nor want) any single Electron app installed on my computer tells something. It is okay to be there as a choice for app development but I want to see less of it. It doesn't come close to native apps. And Qt is getting really better and better each day, and right now is pretty portable, so you don't have to write 3 different versions of apps for different operating systems. Just not my cup of tea, and I hate that it is hyped, because it is reflecting bad on some developing habits and community.

So, you don't like React because Electron which has nothing to do with React?

  And apparently Qt is so much better, which is in the process of integrating a full browser engine for Qt Quick, which is… somehow better than using a full browser engine directly? Okay.

  No, point of OP was hype, and those two together are hyped.

Assuming you want to write an app in C++ that doesn't need it, and are comfortable with not having any of Electron's sandboxing features. While JS isn't my preferred language, it does beat doing everything in native code with full filesystem access.

    Shipping anything Python on Windows is a headache I don't want to deal with.

I am into software development, and I use React daily for frontend-applications. While I'm not swooned as much as most people, I still thinks it has great value.
