> I would much prefer a multiplatform native toolkit as a first class citizen in Rust What is native in windows? Win32, UWP, Windows.forms, MFC etc? Because even Microsoft has a bunch of electron (or equivalent) apps now.

MFC, Windows.Forms and Win32 are all the same widget set; you're conflating programming interfaces with realized widget sets. UWP is another. So there are two. And both are native, yes.

  The default Win32 C++ UI are all form based (the stuff that requires passing around a HWND handler). The new web style responsive "flat" forms are all completely new widgets and API, or at least they use completely new code for painting.

  There's also WPF, which draws its own widgets. It's in pretty widespread use.
