Flutter is kinda good (programming.dev)

I don't have much to say, only that I expected flutter to be a bloated fragile abstraction on top of different native GUI APIs, but no.

It's quite fast, relatively easy to develop and it just works.

I'm working on a desktop app that needs a high-perf rust impl, and (for now) flutter looks like a much better choice than tauri.

    The main one that jumped out to me was a scroll issue on iOS when using multiple fingers. I just looked it up to share a link and it may be fixed? It's the mentality of "Eh, we might fix it one day" that is the bulk of why I didn't stick with Flutter. A bug this annoying lingering for as long as it did said volumes to me.
