I wonder, if they want to use JS, why not QtQuick? I'm a heavy Thunderbird user but I would move to pretty much anything else if it were to switch to Electron.

- irq-1 10y agoI think the reason QtQuick hasn't taken over this space, is that you still need to deal with C++ and cross-compiling. If QT had an option that made it clear you could develop and distribute in JavaScript only, that would be a hit.
- rhodysurf 10y agoYou can write QML apps in like every popular language, there are well supported bindings everywhere. I dont get the C++ hate though. C++11 and up is a totally new language and much more productive than its reputation gives it.
