Your favorite GNOME (or other gtk/libadwaita) apps
Echidna aim to be just that, but it is still far from being usable yet.

Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
There is Relm (https://relm4.org/). Which is in Rust is just GTK (through it's Rust bindings) with a nice reactivity layer on top.

Resources for learning to write ui files for GTK4
I’d recommend you checking out https://relm4.org if you know a little Rust. Relm4 is currently the easiest and most intuitive way to write GTK

[media] Czkawka 6.0 - File cleaner, now finds similar audio files by content, files by size and name and fix and speedup similar images search
Relm4 might make your migration easier. It has factories which make it easy to create lists (both sync and async) and recently added TypedListView as another useful abstraction over pure gtk-rs. There is a lot of potential in Rust + GTK, you just have to find idiomatic abstractions.

What are the scenarios where "Rewrite it in Rust" didn't meet your expectations or couldn't be successfully implemented?
Did you try Relm? It's an implementation is the elm architecture (think react) on top of Gtk. Given your experience with Gtk it might suit you really well, as you can even take only parts of it and continue using bare Gtk for the rest. Give it a try!

GUI development with Rust and GTK 4
What about relm4? Is it generally feature complete? Can one use relm4 for most things, and drop to gtk4 for the oddball task that is not supported?

Newbie needs help with Relm4 errors. On Kubuntu

Forte! A new way of writing Gtk apps for GNOME.
What advantage would this Rust crate have over Relm4? It seems pretty similar to me, save for the property based syntax that Forte has, instead of the set_* ones used on Relm4.

Need guidance for developping GTK4 + Libwaita apps
If you like Rust I recommend Relm4, one of the best experiences I’ve had with a framework tbh, be sure to learn gtk-rs first.
