From those two I use VLC and VirtualBox. And while they work fine, I don't think they are great showcases for good GUIs. E.g. the VLC guis scaling is quite bad on my 4k screen. The same applies also for the version QT creator which I have installed (but that's not a very recent one, maybe the current one is better).
To be fair: I have seen various good QT apps, but most of them were not standard desktop apps. Instead they used fullscreen QML for highly custom user interfaces. That seemed to work well, but I think JS/HTML5 would do the same.
- zzalpha 9y agoThe scaling issue is more a problem of Windows than it is Qt, per se. And, good news, they're fixing it in the next major version! That seemed to work well, but I think JS/HTML5 would do the same. With the same memory footprint and CPU utilization? I highly doubt that...
- KirinDave 9y agoSure, but the trade-off is a lot more developer time. "Twice as long" seems generous, and certainly Electron makes accessibility easier.
