No, it does not suck.

I attempted to use WinUI 3, and could not even get PNGs to render the colors correctly, no matter what setting I tried.

Then I gave Tauri a try, and everything worked out of the box, with the PNGs rendering even better than in the Windows Photos app.

Building the UI was much easier, it looked better, and you get to build the "backend" in Rust.

Nothing about this sucked.

WinUI 3 is basically utterly pathetic bul_sh_t attempting to pretend that it is a UI framework. A wet paper plane passing itself off as a passenger aircraft. Please compare with a real desktop UI framework like GTK or Qt. Or just a more modern one like Rust Iced or gpui/slint
