The only things I don't like about this is a) your binaries will become huge and very slow to compile with optimizations enabled and b) it's dependence on GPUI and its unsure future direction (I'd like to see GPUI thrive outside of Zed but the maintainers have clarified that that's not the goal for now).

hum, well, not that convincing :

Failed to open window: WebGPU context not initialized. Was Platform::run() called?

Not being able to load the component gallery does not inspire great confidence.

Yeah it just doesn't have a good error message if your browser doesn't support WebGPU.

It's not really designed for the web though so I wouldn't hold that against it.

Fair enough. A little warning would go a long way though.
