I see companies having codebase in Tauri going back to electron - is this a common thing?

    Tauri, electrobun, React Native for Desktop, Flutter, actually building a proper native app... there's loads of alternatives.

    I maintain a Tauri app. It's fine. I've not seen any reason to go back to Electron.

    tauri if you still want a web ui, otherwise iced/egui and skip the browser stack

    egui is very neat indeed. With agentic coding, Rust UI dev is as easy as electron dev without the bloat. Electron was relevant when we had to manually code stuff.

    I don't think that it's a common thing. There are many alternatives like MoBrowser, Electrobun, Wails. The choice depends on the project requirements.
