Isn't System76 supporting and contributing to iced?

Yes, and I believe the main developer works for Kraken who use it for one of their apps.

Yes, but they maintain their own fork and are good about syncing. It's still not an ideal model long term.

This is silly. Definitely use Iced.rs, no one cares about it’s early pre-1.0 state. It has good fundamentals and is easy to use. 99% of people on here aren’t building anything more than a vanity project anyways.
Companies using it in production are often forking it as a result, and trying to keep their fork in sync. Ultimately, if the community wants iced to become a major and stable framework, it will have to be forked and a community development model built around it.
And I'm not saying this to disparage the author in any way, their readme even seems to suggest that that's exactly what they'd prefer.
