Pygfx
QRhi is pretty much the exact same goal than pygfx with a different implementation: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/dev/src/gui/rhi

Ant Design – the second most popular React UI framework
Compared to any major UI library out there. Take QT for example:
https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/5d1ded3359ee8bffa33a4b83d5...
That ANT Table is not complex. QT has tons of legacy and supports way more features, yet, code is easier to grasp and maintain. Also, C# and WinForms, if you don't like C++:

Why is building a UI in Rust so hard?
For e.g. if you’re writing a framework, you need to interface with Cocoa on MacOS to draw windows, which only provides an Objective C or Swift interface.

Fish (shell) porting to Rust from C++
That's because Qt 6 wholeheartedly converted to CMake for you. (At least it is better than qmake.) In order to support this Qt has this large battery of CMake files [1]. Qt is of course a clear outlier, but you can't expect the same level of support from every other library you want. My points about "anything exotic" still stand.

A GTK4 Firefox with Libwaita is the next step into the right direction (Please click on the link and upvote my proposal).
What are you talking about? Qt has GTK theme support built-in: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/dev/src/plugins/platformthemes/gtk3

What is this "Portal" which keeps sending notifications when opening the Choose a diskfile window? Is it safe to disable the notifications of it, or will I miss important notifications?
This looks like the Qt bug solved by this commit: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/acaabc9108dfe75530960cf8e3ec4f3602cd82e0
