Could you please link to some GUI applications you've built in rust, and/or describe why you added those abstractions and built a browser? This doesn't match my experience.

I don't understand this question. GPUI's unstable to non-existing a11y, IME, RTL etc. support is well documented.

What you posted doesn't match my experience, so I curious how you arrived at the conclusion that building a GUI application is like building a web browser, and why the abstraction layers you described are necessary as a baseline. I am asking you to post links to the rust GUI applications you've built where you ran into this.

The way you phrased it, it's not. However if you've used Discord, you know that to render it you're essentially rebuilding a web browser due to the sheer variety of formatting, images, animation, audio, videos, languages, widgets, and whatnot that must all coexist in arbitrary forms in every server/room/forum.

But that's not what I wrote at all?
