>So many people complain about Electron or rush to use it. Yet, Lazarus gives you cross-platform apps with self-contained binaries. - The UI has the same old "grey boxes" style that plenty of classic desktop libraries used. - For online apps, you don't get to reuse any parts of your web app (which probably has a fairly similar UI anyway). - Imagine trying to create something like Spotify, or Slack (complete with inline HTML previews and videos and whatnot), or even VS Code with this. - From a brief look, it seems all UI code has to use imperative mutations (`setText`, `addItem`, `hideButton`, etc.). There is nothing like React as far as I know. I'm not even aware of any "old school" data binding library. Correct me if I'm wrong. This is not a practical alternative to Electron in any significant way. Maybe for some niche uses (small tools, etc.)
