I recently explored both Tauri [1] and Wails [2]. Especially Wails is lots of fun. The simplicity of go paired with the fast iteration I get from using React just feels awesome. And the final application is ~10 MB in size!
It's almost as if web crap is optimizing for developer experience at the expense of users.
macOS: too busy rewriting it in SwiftUI before Apple pulls the plug on Obj-C.

Just like many native apps will also be horrible in terms of UX. Good apps are good. And I believe that it's entire possible to build an amazing app with Electron.
Although not everyone might agree, IMO VSCode is a great example of that.
Personally though I’m just greedy. I want the best of QT and Electron. Figuro is my attempt at realizing that. ;)

You say at the expense of users. But when even Apple does't go all native, it's telling.
For what’s its worth my Figuro library does pretty well for live updating text and scrolling! And I haven’t even optimized layouts yet, it currently re-layouts the entire tree for every frame.
