Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns (www.windowslatest.com)

Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

Not that I'm interested in any of those apps, but wouldn't that mean that it makes it way easier to port them to other OSs (except maybe of the AI part)?

I think anyone creating serious windows applications should use Qt.

If it's proprietary, they get to sponsor the Qt project. If it's FOSS, they don't have to. It'll use fewer resources and much like an Electron app, but unlike native Windows apps, it'll run on Linux and Mac OS.

So no more UWP apps? Ok, I thought those were supposed to be the future but whatever...
