    GTK is not accessible anywhere other than Linux and is therefore not a serious option outside of Linux.

        It is. It’s just not particularly good outside of a X11/Wayland environment.

        I think this being worked on though.

            Gtk2 and Gtk3 is fine outside of gnome. Gtk4 especially with Libadwaita is heavily focused on Gnome.

        I said accessible not available. If you don’t know what it means, accessibility means integrating with the OS screen readers and other similar tools so that everyone can use your app, not only people by people with good eyesight, and capable of using a mouse.

          I mean… Windows could probably contribute to GTK if they wanted to expose their accessibility APIs. This would in theory be a good use of time.
