Yep, externalization of costs, make it easier for yourself and shittier for the user. Well done ;). That said, Electron has made the number of Linux apps go up

That said, Electron has made the number of Linux apps go up, which is a win. Still highly prefer native macOS apps on Mac and GTK/Qt apps on Linux, but I know that's a losing battle.
- ogoffart 1y agoDid you know about Slint https://slint.dev https://slint.dev ? What do you think about it?
- cosmic_cheese 1y agoI don’t think any UI framework with a license more restrictive or complicated than full on MIT/BSD is going to be able to compete toe to toe with Electron. It doesn’t matter what the price tag is, if it has one it’s going to lose in a shootout between the two. The only exception I can imagine is maybe a framework that uses the Unreal model, where it’s free to use under USD$1m/year in revenue and beyond that requires only a modest fee.
