Biggest pain points of using Tauri over Electron for me: - Inconsistent webview behavior: mac / windows / linux all different implementations - Safari devtools not as good as Chrome devtools - Rust complexity & slow compile time

Would you still recommend it over Electron?

The inconsistent behavior across Mac/win/Linux has been my biggest hangup with Tauri. Any particularly nasty issues related to that which you've bumped into?

Safari is cursed, I have a button with onpointerdown event, if you click a <select> first, then try to click the button, it will not fire onpointerdown, you need to click it again. Not a problem in Chrome.

Yeah I was worried it would be obscure issues like that. No way I could justify Tauri in an enterprise setting, but I'm sure it's great for small teams that are accustomed to tracking down cross platform issues
