Another issue is that these hobby projects are not state of the art solutions, they stuck in early 90's (ok, maybe late 90's), where the rest of the world using different architectures and approaches that was evolved several times from then.

Yes, I agree. I think Flutter forced Apple's hand, so they made SwiftUI? It is tempting to think that UI-specification is a mature field, but apparently not. It is still evolving.
I think the best approach is to create an UI for a specific application and then later turn it into a library. Then one at least have experience and can sort out weak spots before handing it to others.
Maybe if DPlug had more users something interesting would emerge? DPlug is the only framework I find interesting with D right now.
