> 1) Native PHP is not real native. It's a wrapper for electronJS that it's not native too it's just a browser wrapper.
> 2) The project is abandoned. More than 1 year is in alpha version.
> 3) Web developers have no idea how to build Desktop applications. and what is API when we are talking about Operating systems that this is the host of all these applications.
> 4) Browser based applications are not exporting optimized binary code. This makes them not suitable for medium an large scale projects. They are good only for generating tools with small capabilities on operating system....

> I've built some stuff with PHP-GTK back in 2002-2003, I don't think PHP is suitable for desktop apps, nice project but not viable for production use cases.

> I tried native php and it was really good. I used filamentphp to build and admin interface with it. My problem was that windows builds were not working and just showed in the background, it looks like the discussion on it is still open. But apart from that, I was able to run the build on my linux machine with no issue.
