Thanks for your input. It coincides with my impression about Qt and Gtk. Years ago I made an application (for myself) with Qt and C++ and it was kind of a pleasant experience. I was only reluctant because I would like to not use C++ in my free time.. I will however consider this again and maybe see what bindings exist for Qt. I don't think Flutter is an option for me. I would then rather go the JS/Electron route. It just makes no sense to learn Dart to me.. the only use for it seems Flutter.

Yea, I only mentioned flutter because it is there and is growing, but if I wanted to ship a desktop app quickly to get moving, it'd be Qt for me. I personally love C/C++, but understand not everyone does, but for installed desktop apps, C/C++ still just makes the most sense to me. I know Wireshark moved off Gtk to Qt for a variety of reasons, but some of their key points from what I remember was Gtk was falling further behind on issues, current trends and platform support whereas Qt has really kept up and keeps evolving with the market. Good luck with whatever you choose.
