A faster turnaround time for updates and bug fixes, enabled by removing the minutiae of developing cross-platform apps.

Now tell me, what do native apps get you over Electron apps? Demonstrably happier customers? Or just the personal satisfaction of knowing your app is a "global optimum" or whatever?

I'd say what you are arguing is "my team is better at JavaScript than Qml/JavaScript/C++", which is fine. It really boils down to what the team is most comfortable writing in.

That aside, Qt definitely wins when compared to Electron.

Less memory. Less disk space. When a critical bug is found in the electron runtime, you'll have to trust all those packaged electron versions get updated in time.

Let's be fair here, if you're running on anything but Linux you're hoping every application updates their bundled Qt frameworks when there's a bug found in it too.

But why would I be running anything other than Linux...

what makes you say that ? I develop a C++/Qt app and fix bugs and add new features without any problems and without having to care to mac / windows / linux specific stuff.
