My biggest curiosity is how easy it hard it will be to use their UI widgets for third party software and release on other DE.
I like the idea of writing more apps with Rust and if the ergonomic fit is better than alternatives, this could be a great way Forward. Bridging themes with gnome/gtk in the other direction likely a necessity for that use case.
My only other concern is getting kde tray apps to work out of the box. With budgie/Gnome, I've had to install an add on for that.
Not that I have a lot of things needing the integration. Variety and Dropbox being the main ones for me.
It's also annoying when Windows don't have a corresponding handle in the taskbar.
If they deal with these annoyances well, I'll be more than happy with the next Pop release.
Third party developers have access to the same APIs that COSMIC applets and applications use. It's not possible for a crate to prevent use of public APIs based on who is importing the crate.
