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...).

Are We Out of Luck for Rich Text Editing?
RichTextFX isn't great -- documentation is generally unhelpful and not much development lately. I've also found bugs in the component and figuring my way around internals is hard for a new-ish Kotlin dev.

Rich Text Editor
RichTextFX is very much Some Assembly Required and there isn't much documentation. I would definitely say it's not easy to use IMHO. I'm currently working on creating a word processing control with it, but it's still very much a work in progress. If you go the route of using RichTextFX, the repo might help you figure some things out.

What do you use for building Desktop apps these days?
RichTextFX provides decent syntax highlighting for JavaFX. The project is barely active but works great nevertheless.

Missing APIs related to rich text control

How to have text wrapping around another component?
This is a tough one. JavaFX doesn't currently have that capability. This would involve a lot of font metrics and line metrics calculations. The API currently does not have public methods for such. Might be added in future versions of javafx.

RichTextFX: Open source libraries for making a text viewer / editor
RichTextFX - This fits the bill. It uses following subcomponents..

MaterialFX reaches version 11.13.2
VirtualizedFX and TextFlow will be key to creating stylized text editor if you decide to venture that direction. A game changer. RichtextFX is the most popular but uses Flowless as a virtualised container for TextFlow display, hence has many dependencies.
