With the recent popularity of Electron, I wonder why less attention has been given to Qt Quick. The JSON-like syntax of QML as well as JavaScript should be very familiar to web developers and you get software that looks much more "native" than what is achievable in the DOM (well, without reasonable effort).

Right?! Qt Quick is faster for prototyping, at least as flexible, _much_ faster to run, still very cross-platform....

(I like Qt)

I can write my react component and use it in mobile native version, desktop electron, mobile web, web desktop. Can you do the same with Qt?

I don't get why people have so strong emotion for Electron.
