too many gotchas with LGPL to become a universal solutions. I wish that gtk was more stable across all platforms. I have a few on macos and some are less than ... stable... compared to on linux.

What gotchas are there? The stuff required for doing guis is lgpl, without any kind of other licenses

I don’t think it’s as bad as you make it to be. Qt is a great option imo.

Electron's web engine is also LGPL. (And GTK too)
