Is using unity to create an emulation front end a good idea?

• Playnite

  681 9,005 7.9 C#

  Video game library manager with support for wide range of 3rd party libraries and game emulation support, providing one unified interface for your games.

  I'm looking to create an emulation front-end (like Launchbox, Playnite, and Pegasus) using neo4j to store relationships between items (games, platforms, developers ect.). I've built myself a starting point in Java using JavaFX, but after trying to display items I'm starting to experience the limitations of that. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea for me to switch over to Unity at this point in development, before the application gets too big.
