The whole existence of the GUI client itself is an argument against that as the Git command line interface already works just fine.
- stinos 9y agoI assume that with 'just works' the OP actually meant to say 'just works without too much hassle/overhead'. For example: staging lines/hunks on the commandline does 'just work', no denying that, but in most UI's it's way more efficient and pleasant.
- jamescostian 9y agoJust like how you want a nice UI for staging individual lines, some of us want a nice UI in general, and few of us have low enough standards to consider qt to be "beautiful"
- roblabla 9y agoQt can be made beautiful. Just like most other UI toolkit out there that support theming. HTML by default is pretty hideous. It's mostly a matter of knowing how the theme engine works. As an example, https://tox.chat/ https://tox.chat/ qTox looks pretty nice in this screenshot :)
- devwastaken 9y agoWhat about qt isn't 'beautiful'? It's very close to native for most widgets, and the cool thing about QT is that you have the perfect ability to make your own widgets and theming. The comparison here is electron, which certainly is not going to look like anything native, and QT can be themed almost the same. Not the same css support, certainly, but I don't think Github desktop would be too problematic in that regard.
