My understanding is that most of the new generation of GUI frameworks/application runtime are targeting all platforms. And there's clearly a demand for such feature set if the popularity of Electron says anything. Software businesses no longer want to specialize on specific platforms. What's more, it's provably[0] doable[1] to[2] do[3] so[4]. So, why shouldn't they?

> most of the new generation of GUI frameworks/application runtime are targeting all platforms And they all fail miserably in innumerable ways that make you reach for OS-specific solutions if those frameworks allow that. Just the simple fact that mist mobile is touch-oriented small screens with imprecise controls, and desktop is mouse-and-keybord-oriented with big screens and precise controls make the two largely incompatible.
