Hopefully, not. From my personal experience, Electron and alike applications are slower, larger, and in general have less advanced UI than many Qt or GTK-based (or Windows UI) applications. Nothing can beat good old native GUI frameworks.
- hardwaresofton 4y agoNote that I did not make performance claims relative to native! The “use Qt/GTK/etc” is quite a common refrain on hn, and while I agree all these projects just have not achieved the DevEx that anyone is looking for. Electron/Tauri and even flutter are easier, and that’s why I think they will win. AFAIK the real problem is accessibility features which are lacking. The wasteful resource use will be essentially fixed as computers get faster/hold more data, and more devs put even minimal effort into resource usage.
