    >I believe both GPUI’s and egui’s state models are dead ends for complex desktop applications.

    Why do those complex Adobe clones work so well then?

      Well, primarily users of Adobe software don't have efficiency in mind as their first priority. It's a little different if you are making a desktop widget and it eats a good chunk of your GPU while idle.

      Most of these GUI software are vibe coded so state management essentially becomes somebody else's blackbox problem.
