A faster turnaround time for updates and bug fixes, enabled by removing the minutiae of developing cross-platform apps.
Now tell me, what do native apps get you over Electron apps? Demonstrably happier customers? Or just the personal satisfaction of knowing your app is a "global optimum" or whatever?

- heeen2 8y agoLess memory. Less disk space. When a critical bug is found in the electron runtime, you'll have to trust all those packaged electron versions get updated in time.
- snuxoll 8y agoLet's be fair here, if you're running on anything but Linux you're hoping every application updates their bundled Qt frameworks when there's a bug found in it too.
- asfdsfggtfd 8y agoBut why would I be running anything other than Linux...

I develop a C++/Qt app and fix bugs and add new features without any problems and without having to care to mac / windows / linux specific stuff.

I'd say what you are arguing is "my team is better at JavaScript than Qml/JavaScript/C++", which is fine. It really boils down to what the team is most comfortable writing in. That aside, Qt definitely wins when compared to Electron.
