> Every time I have to build a GUI in Linux I just build a webapp that connects to a TCP backend on localhost because that way I can just build a beautiful UI in HTML/JS/CSS and I don't have to deal with the mess that is GTK, QT, TCL, TK, and all that crap.
I suspect this has more to do with the state of native Linux development tools versus Javascript dev tools then it has to do with the general case. Dev tools for Windows and iOS/ MacOs are fairly straight forward. Not sure about Android, since my burning hatred of Java has removed my desire to mess with that platform entirely. (I know Kotlin exists, still not interested)
Update: I'm basing my comment of what it's like based on the quoted comment, not making an assertion about how good/ bad it is.
