My point is that startup time may not have anything to do with the GUI. It is not a good metric. I could write both an electron and pyQT app that takes minutes to start if it has other shit it needs to be doing. I haven't used electron in years but pyQT apps start up instantly, therefore this app must be doing something else.

If the two apps were programmed identically then you might have a comparison.

Most people don't care whether an app uses Python with Qt or Javascript with Chromium. They care about more about useability and features.

The "most people" argument is moot. I have outlined by arguments elsewhere in this thread

[speedgoose]

Well, people don’t build apps for the very few users that don’t like JavaScript web crap but are fine with Python Qt crap.

Have you written code with it? I am working on a pyQT project right now that is interactive pretty much as soon as python starts up
