- Wowfunhappy 6y agoCould have fooled me with regard to Windows. I'm unfortunately not sure what a "native" Windows app is at this point. They've gone through so many frameworks over the years, everything is a mish-mosh. And this isn't just a result of legacy compatibility. If you are a developer today, and you want to make a really good Windows app, what approach do you take? Is it obvious?
- Polylactic_acid 6y agoOn windows its just a resource hog. On linux and mac they stick out like a pimple on a pumpkin. The number 1 annoyance for me is because they are based on chromium which doesn't have wayland support, all electron apps do not dpi scale properly with multiple monitors.
- Gene_Parmesan 6y agoIMO a fully native Windows app would probably just be Win32, but really WPF/UWP stuff is just about native as well. WPF is still my favorite GUI framework/toolkit by far, if we're talking standard business app development.
