The screenshots could easily fool me into believing it actually is Windows 7 :p

What do you consider to be native GUI on Linux if not something like GTK or Qt ?

You're taking "new fangled" too literally. Is it new, as in not everyone concerned is aware of it? Yes! I think the author is as enthusiastic about this as you are.

> People literally designed better GUI frameworks than flutter 20 years ago.
Which ones? Flutter is quite good, especially compared to things like Java Swing or GTK.

This does ignore the fact that there's not one UI toolkit that you can target and that will work on all distros, and you certainly can't target Qt, GTK, ETK, etc. all at the same time. I've been making a cross platform GUI library and it's been a pain point on Linux (even though I use Linux!)

Wouldn't that be XUL[1] ? It's been there since 1997 and never took off outside of Mozilla, so it was deprecated and removed in 2017. It wasn't meant for use in the wen directly as replacing an entire ecosystem with a completely different way of doing UIs would be close to impossible, all for small benefits.

Feels a little like a déjà vu from an older browser by a big company that had a monopoly..
IMO, the sad truth is that what will happen is that JXL simply won't be used because it's not worth it to lose customers in exchange for a few kilobytes saved. Google has won, it has a monopoly on search, advertisement and the browser and decides de facto of all standards.

NAT shouldn't be used as a replacement for a firewall. So the answer was always to set up a firewall.
