it might be time for me to learn GPUI, i wonder if it's any good.
I was impressed with GPUI's description of how they render text, and hope that it either grows into a general purpose GUI toolkit, or inspires one with a similar approach. It has a long way to go, though.
You might find this interesting:

In the meantime, Qt is still the only cross-platform desktop toolkit that does a convincing job of native look and feel. If you're not married to Rust, you might have a look at these new Qt bindings for Go and Zig:
