Slint is proprietary. Given that AI makes it so easy to spec out and build even entire GUI frameworks, why would you even go with proprietary anymore? And why doesn't the article showcase a full-fledged set of UI components?
I might be wrong, but I believe Slint has qt-style dual-licensing and provides AGPL version for GPL projects.
I assume you make an open source project giving the critics about proprietary nature, so it shouldn't be a problem.

When a vibe coded gui framework becomes so good that it simply cannot be ignored, I'll believe this can work. Until then, all I've seen is half-baked disposable slop that looks really good on paper.
