Because WinUI and QT are so glamorous and offer a super intuitive development experience. /s

TBH I'd take QT app over any electron/web app... it still looks more consistent and matches the OS. Heck, even Java Swing (IDEA) looks better and feels more native than any electron crap.

Spot on, even if I do mostly Web nowadays to pay the bills.

IDEA is surely the ultimate gold-plated Swing app. I'm sure JetBrains have had to pour in a huge amount of time and money to get results that good.

This is just the reality of web development. You'd have the same issues if you were developing a PWA. Blaming Tauri for this doesn't seem fair. It sounds like Electron is a better fit for what you're trying to do.

I think what Tauri is getting blamed for is the decision to always use the native web renderer, which IMO is fair because that was a design choice they made. Personally I think the ideal scenario would be allowing developers a choice between: 1. Use the native OS renderer 2. Bundle a specific version of some renderer (most likely Chrome) 3. Use a shared library for the renderer (this gets a little trickier with sandb…

Sounds like this is the plan for version 3, right?

Not sure... It's mostly due to used L&F. You have FlatLaf (inspired by IdeaUI). Swing is surprisingly solid platform (though it has it's quirks and sadly it's development virtually stopped years ago)

Took a look at the homepage ( https://v2.tauri.app/ )... and basically have no idea what this is or why I would use it. Consider adding something more informative than 'Hardened foundation for your web apps', and maybe an 'About' page.

Both V1 and V2 tag lines fail to describe what Tauri is, but it seems like it's a competitor to Electron, so I'd go with something like:

> (Toolkit/Framework) for building cross-platform desktop application using web technologies. Focused on efficiency, security, and size.

Not really PWA will use your browser of choice which is likely up to date. Tauri often is run on system with very old webviews like 6-7 years old.

What system has 7 year old web views?

A lot of people outside rich outside run old computers and like I said webviews usually are the one first released with the OS and dont get updated.

Is there any hope that Tauri could use something else as browser on linux? Something based off firefox or chromium would be ideal... That would solve all the problems I have with it

Well… kinda. There is this new project called `verso` that from my understanding is coming from the Tauri team (but weirdly is in another org in GitHub): https://github.com/versotile-org/verso

Seem _very_ early days so who knows if it will have legs.

That's a whole browser, it doesn't make me very hopeful for what I'd like to see...

Tauri won't work with those. For example, on Linux, the .deb has dependencies on a version of webview that's not available on Ubuntu 20.04.
