I see companies having codebase in Tauri going back to electron - is this a common thing?

So many, Flutter being one, as well as Rust GUIs like egui, iced, Dioxus Native etc.

Tauri, electrobun, React Native for Desktop, Flutter, actually building a proper native app... there's loads of alternatives.

I maintain a Tauri app. It's fine. I've not seen any reason to go back to Electron.

I don't think that it's a common thing. There are many alternatives like MoBrowser, Electrobun, Wails. The choice depends on the project requirements.

tauri if you still want a web ui, otherwise iced/egui and skip the browser stack

egui is very neat indeed. With agentic coding, Rust UI dev is as easy as electron dev without the bloat. Electron was relevant when we had to manually code stuff.
