Exactly. I'm starting to understand the push for web UI now that I've started to use qt for a small GUI. I'm sure qt is good for some type of apps. But for my smaller scale project where the graphic interface is not where we want to spend most of our dev time, I'd rather take javascript/react at this point.
- josephg 3y agoI feel the same after playing with SwiftUI and UIKit on iOS and trying to make something simple like a text editor with a hideable keyboard. The whole platform feels half baked, with various overlapping features that each have serious, barely documented drawbacks and bugs. “I’m getting a warning about my constraints being defined badly” “oh just ignore that - you can’t make it work without that warning”. “Everything in my project looks the same as the example but mine doesn’t work” “Try deleting your constraints and re-adding them. Sometimes Xcode is just buggy like that”. “I tried but Xcode hard crashed”. Etc. The web feels downright cohesive, stable and well documented in comparison.
