True, but what I’m really talking about is the unbeatable user experience of having an application that looks and feels as if it were a native Windows application, because it is and has that first-class platform support straight from the vendor.
With that said, most new cross platform applications today are probably more like electron or Web apps.
Ok, there’s no such thing as native Windows apps for Linux, but there are cross platform GUI frameworks like Avalonia and Uno that can produce apps with a polished identical experience across all platforms, no electron needed
Good lord, I’ve never seen anyone say this in public. I used Qt Creator for a couple of years and I found the combination of C++ for under the hood and Javascript for the UI to be a fantastic way of ensuring a nearly nonexistent base of developers who could competently do both. Maybe they grow on trees in Finland, I dunno. And maybe you’re talking about some other “Qt”, I also dunno.
I’ve done C# and Java extensively as well and I would never choose Qt over them. I might choose Qt over Objective-C, however.

Qt is my favourite, though it’s not .NET.
