WebView is a microsoft/windows thing

it's not embeddable and not portable, therefor doesn't qualify as a proper GUI toolkit, at best it is a plugin toolkit for windows's integrated web browser



This isn't the case, webview uses WebKitGTK on Linux, WkWebView on macOS, and either Edge/Chromium or EdgeHTML on Windows.


exactly the reason to avoid it, you not in control, it's not portable


It's portable as long as you like testing in multiple is contexts.

It's basically the same offer java gave the world: write on e, test everywhere.
