    Fyne is just really ugly for me.. I'm trying to learn more about GIO lately (gioui.org) which seems to have a great potential. However you request is very simple: native Windows Gui. And there are few libraries for that: - https://github.com/gonutz/wui - https://github.com/lxn/walk - https://github.com/tadvi/winc - https://github.com/rodrigocfd/windigo

    My experience with gui in golang is pretty bad. I took a project which used https://github.com/lxn/walk , and unfortunately the library doesn't have a good documentation. So I had to figure out a whole lot of things by looking into example snippets or via hit and trial. Moreover, it's platform specific. So yeah wasn't a good deal. By the way, if you are thinking of targetting cross-platform then some HTML based GUI library would be much better choice.

    Does walk’s tableview pass your litmus test? https://github.com/lxn/walk with example here: https://github.com/lxn/walk/blob/master/examples/tableview/tableview.go. They look like native widgets.

    Look at https://github.com/lxn/walk. While it offers a cgo optimization for the event loop, I don’t believe it’s required.
