i was gonna bring up https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk only to discover it's no longer under active development.

GTK and custom themes - what really happened
That said, I'm not totally convinced about SixtyFPS today. There are some other interesting options that are suitable GUI toolkits for Rust. Such as OrbTk and Iced. Each toolkit is approaching the GUI space in a different way, so it'll be interesting to see where we end up in a few more years. QML-esque SixtyFPS, ECS-based OrbTk, Elm-based Iced, and a few others out there.

Pop should join this new GTK fork
What's written in this article isn't the development of a GTK fork, but some reasoning for exploring alternatives to GTK. There aren't very many suitable candidates in this space, but Rust GUI toolkits like Iced have potential. Personally, I would add that OrbTk is also a suitable candidate.

Any stable crate to develop a cross-platform Rust desktop app?
I use orbtk, it is pretty easy to use, has an active dev team, works on windows mac and linux, and cross compiling from linux to windows is also easy with it. It is still pretty beta, but depending on the project you need it could work. (https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk)

Cross platform native guis in rust
Orbtk is an option. The default is backend is orbraq, which uses OrbClient. OrbClient will use SDL on Linux, and on Redox it should be a "pure" rust experience.

Rust GUI: Introduction, a.k.a. the state of Rust GUI libraries (As of January 2021)
OrbTK recompiling stuff has been fixed in the development branch as far as I can tell: https://github.com/redox-os/orbtk/pull/409

Rust GUI framework
There is Iced which is used by system76 in Pop!_OS, Druid [DISCONTINUED], GTK-rs, Relm, Azul and Tauri. Personally I would use Tauri for its speed using the OS's native web render, documentation of use with things such as Sveltekit and the ability to make UI's using JS, CSS and HTML. Tauri similarly to Electron whilst being far faster. But its up to personal preference really. There aren't any solid "go to" options at the moment.

What are the pros/cons of the best GUI options for a cross platform app in Rust?
Currently, I have narrowed potential libraries to: 1. Flutter 2. FLTK 3. Relm (GTK) 4. iced 5. Slint 6. Imgui, Imgui-rs 7. and gtk-rs

Relm (GTK)
-
is makeing Vulkan guis worth it?
Relm, Slint (formerly SixtyFPS), Druid and Iced are all very promising idiomatic GUI toolkits with a great deal of community activity around them, and all of those perform substantially better in the accessibility department than ImGui and egui, to my knowledge. areweguiyet.com can give you some more pointers as well.

The state of Rust GUI libraries
To use relm, you need to add the gtk and relm libraries to your project's dependencies in your Cargo.toml file. You’ll also need to have the gtk library installed.

A declarative desktop UI framework for Rust built on GTK and GTK-rs
No , not really a lot of the time people are trying to tackle problems that have taken years to solve in other languages which isn’t easy and is why you see stuff abandoned. This project is also pretty similar to [relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) which is an active project.

egui or iced or druid?
The [older gtk3 version of relm](https://github.com/antoyo/relm) has 2.1k stars. Relm4 is uses gtk4 which is newer.
-
Any good resources for using Rust with GTK4 and Libadwaita?
Relm (supposedly more idiomatic)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing orbtk and relm you can also consider the following projects:
Azul - Desktop GUI Framework
gtk - DEPRECATED, use https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk3-rs repository instead!
iced - A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
egui - egui: an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI in Rust that runs on both web and native
Native Windows GUI - A light windows GUI toolkit for rust
libui-rs - Rust bindings to the minimalist, native, cross-platform UI toolkit `libui`
druid - A data-first Rust-native UI design toolkit.
wxRust - A Rust binding of the wxWidgets cross platform toolkit.
imgui-rs - Rust bindings for Dear ImGui
Relm4 - An idiomatic GUI library inspired by Elm and based on gtk4-rs [Moved to: https://github.com/Relm4/Relm4]
