What Framework Is the Best for Making Cross-Platform, High-Performance, Resizable, Vector-Based Plugin GUIs?

[sergeant]

What’s the best plugin framework/stack (JUCE, iPlug2, HISE, Faust, Cabbage, Elementary, CMajor, etc.) for making plugin GUIs that have these capabilities?

• must support VST3, AU, and AAX (LV2 support is desirable)
• must have resizable vector graphics
• high performance, GPU rendering is preferred
• cross-platform, works for Windows, Mac, and Linux — as little platform-specific GUI code as possible, as few platform-specific glitches as possible
• includes common controls (sliders, knobs, input boxes, dropdown menus)
• fast development
• beginner-friendly
• ​​​​​​​multi-touch support (nice to have)

Can React Native be used to do plugin GUI? If so, what are some examples of plugins built with React Native, and how’s their performance?

Thank you for remembering Linux and high resolution support!
