The article critiques the GPUI (General Purpose UI) framework, a popular choice for building native desktop GUI apps, and its counterpart egui, questioning their suitability for complex desktop applications. Despite acknowledging their impressive qualities and potential uses, the author argues that both frameworks' state models are flawed and may not be the best foundation for building native desktop apps. The author, who has experience with GPUI and has worked on a competing signal-based framework called zgui, plans to present two key arguments against GPUI and egui, citing issues with their incrementalization frameworks and state management, which can hinder performance and scalability in complex applications.
