Iniatly I was excited by Red’s expressiveness, ease of use and cross platform capability, but was very disappointed to find it lacks a driver for PostgreSQL. This for me is critical and surprising omission, especially considering that the main developer of Red - Nenad Rakocevic - wrote a Postgres driver for Rebol??

Lack of drivers and such is due to the fact that full I/O support is not yet implemented, but planned. See:

I really miss an awesome cross-platform GUI. Electron is awesome, but bloated.

Agreed. But Electrcn seems to be the only option these days.

Really? It seems like there are a plethora of options. See an endless list at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12376242
