I was joking. Qt has its place and can be useful. But I believe the days of non-web based, rich clients is over. Because Qt is not really “platform independent” anymore. When Qt was invented, only GNU/Linux, OSX and Windows existed. Now we have mobile phones, tablets, ultrabooks/chromebooks, much more powerful browsers, smart watches. That’s why Qt is not something I would prefer, as I need my apps to run literally everywhere
I get that it sucks. Are there any alternatives, where I have one codebase for all platforms?
Flutter
That has its own set of problems with the big one is that it is spyware
It depends on what you are trying to do
Qt isn’t bad and runs cross platform
Oh my, I just had to puke a little bit.

Have you heard of Java? Or any other language that abstracts away the GUI gluecode. Or don’t just even go electron and provide a web app instead.
Java 😂
Java is awful on multiple levels
Is it?
Yes
It sucks on many different levels
The whiners won’t answer
Tauri is one I’m aware of.
