Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Language bindings
Supports a lot of languages like Java, Javascript, C++, Python, Pascal, FreeBasic and Haskell, but support for languages like C# and GO is only partial.
Pro Nicer user interface when using PyGi
Creating cross platform enterprise apps with PyGi and with the help of Gtk Themes makes them look great.
Pro Working with GTK focused Vala is great
Vala is made to make GTK easy [as well as for other things] and it really does, and makes it easier than working with C/C++, Python, or any other,
Pro Uses Vue.js 2.0
Vue 3.x available as a plugin.
Pro Good documentation and coding samples
Pro Massive suite of well test & optimized widgets
Instant rebuild for SPA, PWA, Cordova or Electron with Material/iOS Themes.
Pro Designed from the outset for desktop & mobile
Pro Can build/test your PWA with/without PWA wrapper
Pro Supports server side rendering (SSR) like Nuxt + SSR/PWA
"Icon genie" builds app icons and splash images for platforms selected.
Pro Ability to add custom server side code when using SSR
Cons
Con Sucks for traditional applications
GTK3 added CSD widgets and added a lot of paddings to make widgets bigger for touchscreen use, GTK4 also even removed Menubar and Toolbar widgets.
Con No menuicons or mnemonics
Gtk3 has removed the support of icons and mnemonics making navigating menus just terrible for the use with a keyboard. Sure there are some hacks to make them working again but they will never work as they did/do work in Windows, GTK2 or QT.
Con Terrible integration
Looks and feels like an alien on all other platforms than GNOME.
Con Promotes Wayland as the standard X11 server on Unix
Lets face it, Wayland is not a replacement for XORG since Wayland works currently only in GNOME and there are many issues. Some desktops and window managers will never get ported to Wayland and it is not available to all Unix and Unix-like systems. X11 on the other hand is available for almost everything, so it will be available for the next decade or even longer.
Con Developed by a single person
Statistically, apps being developed by a single person can be gone without warning.
