it seems like an impossible task. sc is so efficient because it uses the lowest level win32 and gdi apis. i know sc keeps moving to their own custom controls but maintaining three different platform codes is just a lot for such a small team

the good news is these system calls are incredibly well supported with wine and are incredibly efficient for virtualization

i think the energy is better spent just ensuring compatibility with wine and in virtualization for the very rare edge issues. they could theoretically even bundle wine which would probably perform better than transitioning to one of these crummy cross platform gui toolkits

even as is, i can run an entire windows 11 IoT container running sierrachart, and it feels more performant and gives me literally 3x the battery life compared to running any of the native java or .net bloatware out there
