> aesthetically wxWidgets (like many other UI libs) is not for 2022

wxWidgets applications are supposed to look native on every platform... what's the issue? Personally, I find apps with weird GUIs that don't look at all like the rest of the system very irritating. I would prefer developers to spend more time implementing features, and less making bling-bling UI things.

So many apps twenty years ago had features that apps today do not. It was really frustrating to see instant messaging services regress in features as people migrated from one to another to a third to ... today's dumpster fires.


Using the native UI libs doesn't mean you have native UX experience. It is not only about the visual objects but also the interactions and flow.
