SwiftUI is still broken for any non-simple apps, almost a decade after its introduction. Completely unacceptable for big apps. Look at OmniFocus, who inexplicably became early-adopters of it, and it's had a bunch of UI glitches and inconsistent behavior requiring app restart (like you select one list item, but the inspector shows you details for another list item) ever since.

Apple only has itself to blame for Electron's popularity.

It was released in 2019, so 6 years ago at most.

+ Microsoft with their inability to decide on a single UI framework/API for more than 1.5 years.

My bad, I recalled 2017 for some reason.

And of course, same problem on Windows.
