It's not great haha, i mean there are strange questionable decisions like the whole message dispatching system for instance, but it's stable in my experience.

I think the window messaging makes more sense than a TCP server/client lol (x11/wayland etc)

What option you have else ? You mean COM is not Win32 API ?

yeah but the way it's implemented in win32 api is weird. If you decide to process those messages messages manually, you still have to supply a "window procedure" which windows can decide to call arbitrarily. This creates two places where you'll have to handle those messages _-_. What the hell windows, i AM managing those messages, stop getting in my way lmao. Not to mention it used to be such that any application can send a message to any window (haven't checked if it's still possible), regardless of whether it is owned and regardless of whether the it wants to receive those messages. It's a possible security flaw imo.
