Except Flutter is a subpar experience on every platform because of just how slightly different it behaves and Kirigami / Qt Quick is just not a viable thing, there's barely any community and/or "serious" project on Windows, macOS or mobile. I'm not trying to discredit the KDE folks, but that is reality. Also, Qt Quick licensing is not so easy (or very expensive if you go commercial) for iOS.
Whereas electron has a) big major corporations betting on it shipping extremely polished,
Production-ready tools and b) a gigantic community and library ecosystem, plus not any obscure programming language (such as Dart).
Telegram really goes the extra mile, though. Their client is amazing.

- emptysongglass 3y ago> Except Flutter is a subpar experience on every platform because of just how slightly different it behaves I'm not sure this is true. If you check the pulse of social media, most Flutter devs think Flutter is great for Android, iOS and desktop but needs help on web. Canonical at least rewrote their installer in Flutter and anything new they develop is in Flutter. Devs are hoping that the WASM support currently shipping in `master` [1] will solve for web.
