Lots of GUI native, non-web libraries have been started in Rust, but they are VERY far from being close to what Qt supports. You may get closer using web based libraries (Tauri, etc), but I wouldn’t personally start web based desktop applications.
Yes, things have changed. So annoying you can't just download an offline installer using a mirror of your choice, for example.
> One problem with Qt is that some modules are under the GPL and it is easy to end up inadvertently with a GPL dependency.
I never encountered such a problem, the GPL modules always seemed very niche and targeted toward specific industries (automobile, etc).
Which on that note, last I knew getting Qt apps correctly stripped and packaged for all platforms was a bit of a bear. In particular I remember building Mac application bundles being messy.
That said, I really think Qt should have a separate commercial license that is exactly like LGPL but allows you to link statically and costs much less (without all the enterprisy things).
