great for mobile apps, fine for desktops, basically unusable for browsers unless you do wasm, if web can be revamped/improved it can be the best option for cross platform GUI

You are in luck then, use jaspr.

I love this framework! It offers all the benefits of Dart and the Flutter widget paradigm on the web, while still providing access to the DOM. I'm using Jaspr for all of my marketing sites. It's beautiful, and I can ship in minutes.

Relying on WASM means that nobody on Apple platforms who has Lockdown Mode enabled for better security will be able to use it.

I see that as a win

no one and absolutely no one pick flutter because they want do traditional web in the first place

its a cross platform framework that you can share component between mobile and other platform and always has been

I’ve used flutter for a couple of toy web apps. One is just a personal tool , another is a small party game.

Now I might vibe code such things using React, but 5 , 6 years ago Flutter got me what I wanted fast.

Firebase integration is absurdly easy. You can make a crud app in about 30 minutes

Yes but its best work with SPA or WASM type of app like games for example

It's probably not the best for anything in particular.

It's the fastest way to build something if you're not a big html person.

I've never particularly been good at hmtl tbh. The older I get, the more I'm concerned with the ease of tools/frameworks vs what's the most optimal.

its good at mobile, developer experience simply just better compared to java,kotlin xml UI declaration back then
