Unfortunately, the best GUI in existence atm is a proprietary middleware and the language for it is XAML. NoesisGUI: https://www.noesisengine.com/xamltoy/0e2a866b60bc2b9a724b4c68eefde5eb https://www.noesisengine.com/xamltoy/0e2a866b60bc2b9a724b4c6... And it even has a studio for paying clients which makes designing a GUI trivial. https://www.noesisengine.com/studio/ https://www.noesisengine.com/studio/ The studio is made using their own GUI library and its sleek af. Not even QT holds a candle to it. Would have been nice to have such a project in the open source world.

Is that desktop only, or does their demo just not work on mobile but other stuff can? I don’t get a keyboard when I focus their password input on iOS Safari.

Qt certainly holds several candles, what happens is that people always complain about having to pay for tools, while expecting to be payed themselves. https://www.qt.io/product/ui-design-tools https://www.qt.io/product/ui-design-tools

        Why would anyone choose .NET for anything non-Windows (or non-Microsoft)? Besides familiarity of course but that means jack shit.

        Why would anyone not choose one of the best platforms in 2025?

        With C#, VB.NET, and F#? Anyways, to each their own.

        Two of these are still ahead of the rest of the industry in their respective domains. And both are beautiful languages to write concise and performant code in.

        I prefer C, OCaml, Ada, Elixir, Go, Factor, Lua (LuaJIT), etc.
