Which better desktop framework for cross-platform with some of the productivity available for web apps? Curious on your experiences because it's hard to avoid a lot of sprawl and inconsistencies over time.

That's a good question, and I don't know the answer :) I wasn't thinking about it that way, like as an alternative to QT or the Java stuff, you mean? That might make sense if your users don't really care about native look & feel.
Was more considering it from the perspective of web-native companies wanting some offline/desktop experience too
If you can't reuse the same code between web and the desktop, you might as well use a better desktop framework. This just creates a false positive lookalike that is surface-level compatible but really not reusable and maintainable, and trying to figure out which APIs are shared and which aren't would be more work than just working in a different language & environment altogether.
