I was training a JavaScript developer to do DevOps. I described the C(++) GUI libraries to him, GTK and Qt. His reaction: "So you can't make the UI look exactly the way you want it to. You can't dial it in."

This will largely fail to gain market share just like PaperGUI[1] and Polymer[2] did (much to my chagrin). UX and web developers simply feel the need for more control over the UI.

However, I do find it interesting that there is enough interest in this trend that people keep recreating tools for it over the years. I wonder why.
