I've written and shipped UIs with AppKit/UIKit, Qt, a Tkinter (I know...) implementation, and HTML/CSS. HTML/CSS win for a reason. ;P

- pjmlp 8y agoCheaper devs.
- Klonoar 8y agoYeah, no, it's not "cheaper devs". This is elitist gatekeeping. HTML/CSS/JS win because at this point there's both a mountain of features that you'd need to match in a native framework, it's cross-platform with rendering engine(s) that are mostly platform agnostic, and it's _actually documented_ unlike things like AppKit. Someone learning HTML/CSS/JS can google their issue and find a solution or guide or what-have-you with relative ease. It's nowhere the near the same for any other framework.
- pjmlp 8y agoI would be quite happy if HTML/CSS/JS would be able to match the tiny set of 90's RAD development, and native graphics performance, that apparently never make it to that mountain.
