Am I the only one miss C++ application GUI that is so much snappier and responsive than todays GUI framework such as Electron or others using python, JS etc?

So a couple of people here talk about Sublime Text being very snappy, so if anyone’s interested, ST uses a custom gui framework based on Skia.

• qskinny

  5 1,286 9.6 C++

  A lightweight framework on top of the Qt scene graph and only few classes from Qt/Quick. It is usable from C++ and/or QML.

Not really, or at least, not fully. The roadmap for Qt 6 somewhat vaguely intends to have a C++ API for Qt Quick Controls (now there is, but very limited and private with no compatibility, and ugly to use). I think they are seeing that QSkinny can take some market from them.
