JavaFX has SceneBuilder[2] which also fit the description but for some reason, it never caught on. Gluon seems to have that work not only on desktop, but also on mobile.

Can you confirm that Dart desktop apps are actually desktop apps and not Electron apps or similar?

Of course... it's a very different tech. Flutter's graphics are based on Skia[1], same as used in Android and Chrome. Dart compiles to actual executable binaries, so it's not at all like Electron.
