The barrier to entry for GPUI might be a bit high for some, but is there really any argument to be made against migrating to Tauri?

Tauri's value prop over EGUI and GPUI is that its syntax is familiar to web devs.

Are there any fully fledged ui frameworks (components) for Taurus that I can look into?

was wondering the same thing; my hunch-memory is that Tauri is not as performant on Windows. but that has not been my experience, Tauri seems great

With Tauri you have to support multiple web engines. It uses webkitgtk on linux - which has its own set of issues, including being somewhat behind chromium/firefox in terms of stability/security/performance/features...
