I dabbled with Flet for a couple of weeks and all I can say is: I wish it were further along in development. Either that, or had more documentation and examples available. I love that it targets all platforms and that it's so easily distributable, but where I ran into problems was with layouts in general and aligning controls with one another specifically. I was ready to drop all other GUI toolkits before I ran into that snag. Perhaps in another year or two I'll take another look.

The layout documentation is a real weak point in Flet. I believe it's essentially as powerful as Flutter, which is also really hard to figure out but at least there's a million blog posts about it and AI understands it. Flet repackages that power (mainly in its Container widget) in a way that's probably more sensible, but if they'd religiously stuck to Flutter's API (or just had really good documentation) then at least you'd be able to figure it out.
