Ideas for GUI libraries?
For years I had Qt experience in Python and C++. But I found it too heavy to introduce in a Go project. After trying a couple different options (I'm not a web dev) I actually really liked IUP. https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

IUP – Cross platform C GUI library
You can check the screenshot from Windows 10 here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go/blob/main/examples/sampl.... If you are not using the manifest it will not follow the system appearance and will always look like Windows XP Classic.

bindings to GTK or QT
I've tried a few different Go gui solutions so far. Coming from a C++/Python Qt background, I wanted to use Qt bindings but found them to be a bit too heavy as a dependency in Go. And I'm not a skilled web dev so some of the other options didn't suit me well enough. But I did actually enjoy using this in a recent project: https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go

Desktop UI

Are there any cross-platform GUI frameworks programmable with Go which you’d recommend?
That depends on your requirements. I'm currently using IUP for a desktop app (Linux and WIndows). Caveats:
-
Go GUI with access to filesystem... Best approach?
For native UI, you can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. There are 50+ examples to help you, i.e. show images, buttons, file dialogs, etc.

What is the coolest Go open source projects you have seen?
If I may, https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go: Cross-platform UI library with native controls.

What makes Go unsuitable for UI development?
You can check https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go. The Cocoa backend is still not finished but it works for basic UI. There is GLCanvas for Linux and Windows.

The Linux GUI toolkit situation, or why Electron (or similar) is sadly the future.
I recently created a Go binding here https://github.com/gen2brain/iup-go and was amazed how simple API is, thanks to their attribute system. Although they have some controls that are custom, everything else is native. Compared to Qt or wxWidgets, IUP is just a UI toolkit, Qt/wxWidgets is much more than just a UI toolkit.
