At least it is a mile better than the abomination named Electron.

Each Electron app has both Chromium and NodeJS bundled. Tauri only use platform-specific webviews, and Rust is a compiled language with no GC and no runtime.

Doesn't using platform-specific webviews mean you get inconsistencies between OSes?

[fs0c13ty00]

Yes, it does suck sometimes, but for UI then your frontend framework should work all the same 99% of the time. If your app is related to audio/video playback or you want to use newer features of Web standard such as webGPU, then it will be trickier.

Ah, good point about the frontend framework, you're right. Thanks!

Only if relying on the browser/renderer's opinion on layout.

That sounds like a significant advantage.
