  > egui is great for projects where the application runtime is short lived

What is good for a long-lived application, such as an email client? I'm looking for something that fits the same place that Qt fits in the Python world.

Accessibility and keyboard shortcuts are of extreme importance.

Some of the QT people have forked off and started working on slint[1], iced[2] is the most mature gui in the rust ecosystem right now (in my opinion), but still lacking in some ways, including portability to mobile and component libraries are sort of against the design principle so it's allergic to network effects. Iced is built on some pretty orthodox elm architecture principles by some very talented and devs - but they leave very little room for impurity.
