I don't think that's it.
Electron make it easy, if you know front end dev, to do an app. It's easy to package as well.
I don't know if you tried to design a beautiful QT app, but it's hard. A beautiful QT app with medias capabilities ? Extra hard. Packaging that? A royal pain.

- pjmlp 7y agoYeah, because centring divs or making drop down menus out of unordered lists is so easy.
- BiteCode_dev 7y agoYou don't, you have kits to do most things for you. That's the beauty of it: you can reuse the entire web community assets. And when there are no existing widgets, crafting one is way, way easier than with QT. Especially with break points.
- pjmlp 7y agoYeah, right because component libraries aren't a thing in native UI since the early 90's.
