It uses the Python binding for GTK. Yeah, that's a big no for me.
I barely use GUI apps, but beyond that my only strong adverse reaction is to cancerous Electron platform. So: why the hard no specifically on the Python GTK bindings?
Lately, I've started to hate scripted languages. That's all I've got to say. You know, overhead and stuff? And well, much of it is just projection about how I can't land even internships, because I decided to flunk on Golang and Rust. Ruby and Python ruined my early-career.
Been there. But, while I have a preference for statically compiled languages with minimal runtime-linked libraries, when it comes to GUIs, the horses are already out of the barn, right? So I don't sweat it as much for software I'm getting from the distribution's repos.
