What about Flutter? I heard so many complaints before I now hesitate to look at it. But maybe these were just teething problems and things are running more smoothly now?

It wasn't available when I started Beekeeper Studio, so I never tried it.

I used to hate native-apps-that-are-actually-web-apps, but I'm a full convert after using VSCode, that's what encouraged me to take the leap with BKS.

Electron is the market leader, so maybe Flutter will end up better, but at this point I'm skeptical.

Flutter is great. Web support is still not all there, but if you're looking at making apps for iOS/Android/Linux/Windows/Mac and you're not worried about it looking 100% native, it's a huge timesaver.
