Ask HN: Should Qt be considered in the place of electron?

I'm aware that they aren't being deprecated, but that doesn't mean they aren't being phased out. When I say it is being "phased-out" I'm referring to how it will no longer be advertised as the optimal solution to a problem. Perhaps we're just arguing semantics at this point?

You can use the tool until it's deprecated. Everything is constantly being "phased out".

Phasing out is the same as sunsetting, i.e., terminating: https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/sunsetting

From the first post, I assumed the commenter meant something like, "in Qt 6 QWidgets will stop working", which is insane.

I guess it was poor wording on my part then, sorry. I only meant that it was not going to be the focus of the product anymore.
