Maybe I misunderstood the comment I was replying to.

I was replying about the "binaries" part. Binaries are always paltform specific.

The "only" part of "platform-only" - I can sympathize with. There are some tools I would like to try but I can't because they are windows only.

That said, it doesn't to me like any of the librarires/tools mentioned are good enough.

Qt is in C++ but from what I've heard its performance is abysmal - at least it's not good enough to justify writing something in Qt instead of html/js/css.

Xamarin I had to use one time and as far as I'm concerned, the DX is bad and the end result is also bad. Again, not good enough to justify using it instead of html/js/css.

Honestly curious, but of all the things I've heard people say about QT it could never be about poor performance, it's generally consistently regarded as the fastest complete GUI toolkit out. Even more so because the Linux desktop environment KDE is built in it and is consistently shown to be both the fastest and lowest memory of near all Linux desktop environments (and certainly among all the big ones), including ones designed to be fast and low memory. Where did this poor performance thing come from and am I missing something lately?

This is the first time I hear this compliment about KDE: being high performance and low memory usage. It's the exact opposite in my experience. The worst performance and most resource hungry desktop environment.

Though to be honest it's been more than 5 years since I tried, so things might have changed since then ... but I really doubt it.
