In my opinion most UI stacks beat HTML+CSS. Which is a truly horrible way to start to begin with. HTML was never intended to be abused for that purpose.

The problem now is that a vast number of people know web (html, css, javascript) etc and they have little knowledge of UI libraries at the OS or library level.

The argument that it is difficult to create a cross platform UI is not a good one.

Delphi solved that a long time ago.

With Canvas you finally have the basic rudimentary structure needed to make sense.

You can't make all graphics canvas based. Too much of a performance hog. It's not ready because who wants constantly spinning fans. No, reducing FPS is not enough because it makes things choppy
