Qt is as solid as it gets. It's very, very high quality. Much higher quality than Microsoft's frameworks on Windows.

  How would you know? It's impossible to have done a thorough analysis of all the Windows UI frameworks, five have been released since I started typing...

  Well yes, I was surprised by the situation in Windows too! So my stack is now split like this - Apple: SwiftUI/AppKit - Android: Jetpack - Windows + Linux: Avalonia (C#) Avalonia seems good so far. I couldn't do Qt because I can't deal with that qBittorrent look. GTK is aesthetically pleasing for me, but it only runs on Linux. Avalonia lets me target both of these UI-toolkit-less platforms with something native-ish. Flutter is probably good too, but I am using uniffi-rs and that doesn't generate Dart bindings AFAIK. Would love to hear other options.

    Isn't Qt themeable? I also recall at one point they "emulated" native widget look and feel in their own renderer but I might be misremembering.

      It looks like you can

  Indeed! I wrote my note-taking app with a block editor (like Notion) in Qt with QML for the UI and C++ for the logic and it's been an incredible experience![1] [1] https://rubymamistvalove.com/block-editor https://rubymamistvalove.com/block-editor
