STILL, I think Robert M. Münch is onto something good if he aims for accuracy and provides say a canvas that draws bezier curves to the spec (whether it is PDF or SVG). I think many niche application areas involve accuracy, like a CNC router program, or a logo cutter or 3D printing. So I think there is a market.
I'm not fully understand the discussion about accuracy WRT GUIs. Of course you need to draw things accurate. And my interjection WRT 35-FPS was just to give an idea about the possible achievable performance. I like desktop apps that are fast and small, nothing more.
If you can provide everything people need in one framework, then people might want to pay for it. If you just provide what everyone else sloppily does, then why bother (just use Gtk, Qt or electron instead). *shrug*
Exactly. Our goals is to create a GUI framework which you can use to make desktop apps without caring about the OS specifics (which doesn't mean we are limiting in a way that you can't care if you wish). For this we are creating a set of building-blocks that fit perfectly together following a radical KISS and minimal dependency strategy.
If you want, you should be able to maintain a desktop app using a specific version of the framework for 15+ years, without running into any limitations.
