    Electron is the only cross platform gui toolkit…

    If you ignore QT, GTK and everything else.

    I’m so glad that Microsoft makes an awesome cross platfor— wait, no, but they contribute code to— hmmm … Hey, what does Microsoft do to make apps more portable again?

        Python tkinter interfaces might be inefficient, slow and require labyrinthine code to set-up and use, but they make up for it by being breathtakingly ugly.

          Ugh, and they’re just weird. I can handle ugly but ktinker popups go across virtual desktops and over other windows for some ungodly reason, and never seem to dismiss themselves properly

          And now imagine yourself creating an UI in tkinter without an editor. Because that’s what I did. It was absolutely horrible.

      GTK is not accessible anywhere other than Linux and is therefore not a serious option outside of Linux.
