JetBrains Compose is now Compose Multiplatform
+1 I really hope that they add official desktop controls. Just wanted to mention this library https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/aurora It has some pretty good looking desktop controls, in the meantime.
-
What do you use for building Desktop apps these days?
If you don't mind me asking: by "missing app framework" for Compose Desktop, do you mean a framework for WIMP components? I know that there is the Aurora project which brings these components to Compose Desktop (haven't tried it myself, though)

What cool libraries exist for Kotline native targetting desktop (Linux, MacOS, Windows)?
I haven't tried it yet but for GUI options there's Aurora

best GUI framework for Kotlin? I’m working on a desktop program and i’ve been using JavaFX, and was curious if Kotlin had anything better? I’m aware of TornadoFX but i don’t really enjoy the way it’s setup.
Check out https://github.com/kirill-grouchnikov/aurora for some ideas on how to do this (custom components, etc...).

Win32 App Isolation
JVM UI isn't so bad. I've written some pretty modern looking UI with it. The sophisticated controls are all there.
Modern JavaFX theme: https://github.com/mkpaz/atlantafx
Modern Swing theme: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf
And these days Compose Multiplatform: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/compose-multiplatform/
I tend to use Kotlin rather than Java but of course Java is perfectly fine too. You can also use Clojure.
If you use any of those frameworks you can distribute to Win/Mac/Linux in one command with Conveyor. It's free for open source apps and can do self-signing for Windows if you don't want to pay for the certificates or the Store (but the Store is super cheap these days, $19 one off payment for an individual). Also supports Electron and Flutter if you want to use those.
From those frameworks you can then access whatever parts of the Windows API you want. Flutter even has WinRT bindings these days! So it's not quite so bad.

Should programmers avoid drag and drop GUI builders?
And as far as Swing's aesthetics, I only agree with the sentiment that 'it's ugly' if a custom LAF isn't used, like one from flatlaf.
