I release a Qt app for mac / windows / linux whenever I want by tagging a git commit and letting it be built by CI services. There is a single code base with almost zero platform-specific code. I really don't think that the technology choice is what matters in this.

As someone who has worked a lot with both Qt and React at my current job, I feel that React is significantly easier for almost everyone. Qt’s complexity negates a lot of its benefits in most hands.

Maybe it is my age showing off, but React easier than Qt??!
