when compared with the time saved and quality of product, the price is justifiable. > Probably one reason why cross platform developers looking for least > costly solutions don't always tend to jump on the QT bandwagon if they > plan to target windows. Whereas GTK doesn't suffer this problem. Gtk+ also looks like complete crap on Windows, doesn't integrate properly with the rest of the Win32 shell (file dialogs, anyone?), and has no widely available commercial support on Win32. if you wish to do some open source development on Windows, and you want that same code to run on non-Windows systems, then the drawbacks of Gtk+ on that platform may be just fine. for serious development, it really isn't an option. - -- Aaron J.
