Ubuntu Continues Work On Flutter+Dart Written Firmware-Updater Utility

I guess Canonical will do everything to not use Qt, and even GTK now !
Always wasting time and resources on stuff nobody asked for.

Well, it's Canonical. They already have a long history of doing things their own way.

Canonical might be following the ongoing trend of software/IT companies turning into a meeting place for scene kids who are only interested in the next hip thing rather than in doing any useful work. Still, Red Hat, in particular their GNOME team, is far worse, so I probably shouldn't be so hard on Canonical.

Useful work is boring. (facepalm)

This is really weird. Flutter apps look really foreign on Linux, they don't integrate well, no matter if you use a Qt or GTK based desktop. Flutter used to be really bad in terms of accessibility, too. Did they improve that in any way?

Not a fan of Flutter, it's a strange framework with many odd design decisions.

Flutter draws its own widgets, so it can look as foreign or as native as the effort put into it. You can see an example of that for iOS here.

Linux support is still considered in beta

On top of that, it just feels very weird for an OS vendor to pick a toolkit that can only be used with Dart. Nothing against Dart itself, but it just makes no sense that you cannot use your language of choice with the OS's default toolkit. I think any toolkit that does not support the C language should not be chosen as the default toolkit of an operating system.

[Awesomeness]

You will mostly get Red Hat doing that work.

But as usual Canonical will act as if they did all the work.

Why ? And only GTK is a C toolkit.

Why ? And only GTK is a C toolkit.

Because being a C toolkit means it's easily bindable to pretty much any other language. This is why GTK has more bindings than Qt for example.

Why does imgui have so many bindings?
