Stable and native looking GUI tool for Go?
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

Golang GUI?
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.

What are some frameworks/libraries lacking from Go?
Look at https://github.com/lxn/walk. While it offers a cgo optimization for the event loop, I don’t believe it’s required.

Do these not work? (I haven’t tried them - non-rhetorical question.)

My first idea that I want to write in Go
Could try looking at wails. I don’t really ever do any GUI programming, especially in Go. But it and Fyne are probably gonna be your best, easiest route. Though, I do know there are also bindings for Qt

Qt Bindings for go not found
Well, of course it does exist, you cannot use github URL like that, this one works https://github.com/therecipe/qt/tree/master/widgets.

Want to create a non-bloated linux app
I know of https://github.com/therecipe/qt, but I've no experience using it, so not sure how well it works. But normally if you feel handy with Go, I guess it should be easier than switching your development stack to C++.
