It is dogshit compared to what?

GTK or QT, Java toolkits?

There is no better cross platform way of implementing applications, especially if you want to do mobile in the same stack.

That is unfortunately true. Our industry settled on the worst possible solution to solve that problem.

Compare how it feels to use an Electron app like VSCode or Discord to a native app like Zed or Sublime. It's night and day, but the latter takes a lot more effort.
