developing an app directly on wayland and that it would be really difficult.

yes it would - you’d just end up reimplementing work from projects like SDL and gtk, this is why we invented libraries.

firefox and gtk

firefox is gtk3 based, which is substantially different from gtk4, and moreso adwaita. there’s some discussion about porting to gtk4, but for large projects like these shit is slow moving - just look at how long steam is taking to port their client to wayland.

The blockers are in Gnome’s design guidelines

And yet most gnome apps use context menus… They’re just not a priority given that any functionality in a context menu needs to be duplicated elsewhere so that people can find it. This isn’t just a gnome thing btw, it’s the way UI everywhere is going: Hamburger menus all the way down.

I like it, i use lutris though because i don’t care for the sandboxing.

Most GNOME apps do use context menus though, there’s nothing about adwaita or gtk that blocks this.

the right mouse button is never used for anything?

I’m curious, what exactly would you want RMB to do? And the reasons why it’s not used much is twofold, lack of discoverability and touch based device compatibility (which isn’t just phones btw).
