Vibe coding can yield us Tauri apps that end up being like 3mb rather than 130mb for a "Hello World" app.

I would go one step farther - if you're vibe coding, skip Tauri altogether. I've been on-and-off vibecoding a GitKraken replacement using egui instead, and the memory footprint is very low. Otherwise can't tell the difference, as I'm not reading the code either way.

You can just skip Tauri entirely and get true native apps. No web wrapping required

Like these https://goodapps.store/

Disclaimer: All mine, open-source, ai-assisted, less than 5MB each. I love rust+tauri combo.

Much better it can give us just webview in wry and winit without tauri bloat

Tauri doesn't solve the problems Electron solves. It just externalizes the solution so things can subtly stop working randomly.
