Spotify is CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) as is the Adobe CC desktop application.
CEF is geared toward native C++ and is probably more of a Qt alternative than Electron in that regard.
- kevinarpe 6y agoI can confirm Spotify GNU/Linux client appears to use libcef. I was surprised! I had read some old Internet posts that claimed Spotify GNU/Linux client was using Qt. (I have no idea about old versions of the GNU/Linux client.) When I run command "ldd" on my Spotify GNU/Linux client binary, I see "libcef.so". And, I can see: $ ls -l /usr/share/spotify/libcef.so -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 147980856 Sep 15 06:13 /usr/share/spotify/libcef.so That's a big library!
