You have two extremes for GUI development. One is games, where everything is built from the ground up. The other is professional apps like office, photoshop where large dev teams with lots of money build tightly integrated GUIs for each platform. Then you have the 95% of apps that just need an interface. For close to four decades OS providers have actively fought against the development of a common cross platform GUI framework that was easy to use. Now finally we have electron so we can use the only existing cross platform gui platform (html/javascript) that survived in spite of the big players attempts to kill it. So electron/javascript will dominate. It’s not pretty but it’s the best we have.
