I'm fully in support of cross platform frameworks, I just hate the Electron approach of taking the worst parts of a browser and putting it all into a gigantic, ran gobbling monstrosity.

There are good "non-native" frameworks - Qt comes to my mind first, but Flutter and the now seemingly revived WPF are also good contenders. Those are pretty great.

You can also do Electron well (VsCode), but almost no devs do it, which makes me question whether doing it well might require just as much effort as using something else.
