"...I have a really hard time taking them seriously for UI-driven application development."
It's been a long time since I've done serious UI work, so am not aware of the latest grievances.
But it'd be great if stock UI frameworks were more like game (simulation) engines. Scene graphs, composition, event loops, command objects, etc.
Just like sufficiently complex C programs become buggy implementations of LISP, interesting UIs eventually recreate a poorly conceived and terribly implemented simulation engine.
- Gibbon1 6y agoPotential advantage to Unity is it was developed from the ground up to do all that. Unlike the browser.
- fxtentacle 6y agoPotential advantage to using a browser is that it actually works. Unlike Unity. But in the end, Electron or Unity doesn't matter, both are equally bloated.
