it seems ridiculous that we have to embed an entire browser, meant for internet web browsing, just to create a cross-platform UI with moderate ease.
Why are native or semi-native UI frameworks lagging so far behind? am I wrong in thinking this? are there easier, declarative frameworks for creating semi-native UIs on desktop that don’t look like windows 1998?
I remember thinking that Qt seemed like a really good approach that should be more widely adopted…until I actually had to use it.
Not that it’s terrible; it’s really not. But C++ is just not at all a good language for <s>anything</s> UI stuff.
