Consider using react.js

React is a cross-platform library with widgets that look native. We should consider using this for a more native feel on each platform.

I was expecting an older style of Windows theme. I really like that this uses the modern Windows design language.

Unfortunately, I think this would greatly increase the amount of code specific to the Windows and Mac platforms. For instance, it's literally got two separate Button components with different properties for the two platforms.

Still, it really looks fantastic aesthetically. I'd love to see if we can use this with a decent amount of UI code reuse between platforms.

React is not free/libre open source software, so it's probably best not to include it in QMK.

I think we're going in a different direction with this - specific OS sources seems to be the best way forward on this. To avoid confusion, we're starting this in qmk/qmk_toobox, which includes some other features besides flashing.
