The readme says it is aiming for a “web look”, with no intention to make it look — and, presumably, behave — native. As a user, that’s not what I expect and hope for from a desktop application.

>>layer8+YH7
It’s a tradeoff. You either make your app native but only for one platform, or you make it look “universal” and run on all three.

>>tonsky+mp8
That’s not accurate, there are cross-platform toolkits that achieve at least a close-to-native look&feel. This is very different from giving up on it entirely and going web-style UI.

>>layer8+eG8
If they use native widgets, they usually look really bad If they just “imitate” look and feel, they usually fall very short of the real thing

Either way, it’s bad experience for the end user

I don't know, I think the Racket GUI toolkit and JavaFX work fine for building cross platform standalone applications.
