I am not doing Desktop development, therefore I can't talk about portability or features in GTK and Qt, but from my point of view, Qt isn't just a toolkit but a completely API for doing pretty much everything, like accessing DBs, it has network communication classes, access to sound functions etc, everything through Qt API.
Furthermore it has lots of examples, nice documentation and personally I think is the easiest GUI to develop with it. Then again, most applications I'm using are written in HTML5 shells and since the LWN article mentions Unity8 and Qt5, again ..many Unity8 apps will use the Qt5 Web-Container so they basically are Webkit apps and not Qt5 apps. Personally I would be more concerned to see a better integration of Qt5 and HTML5 applications in GNOME rather interested to Qt Vs GTK thing :) On Fri, Aug 8, 2014 at 3:56 PM, Allan Day <[email protected]> wrote: > Matthias Clasen <[email protected]> wrote: > > I don't want to reply there directly, but we've done a number of > > things this cycle that should be useful in countering this perception: > ... > > There's also the longer list of things that have happened in GTK+ over > the past 2/3 of cycles: > > - Widget opacity > > - Frame sync for smooth animations > > - Widget templates > > - Improved CSS support > > - New widgets: revealers, stack switchers, popovers, header bars, > search bars, list boxes, > > - Baseline alignment > > - HiDPI support > > - Model-based menus (this is particularly relevant for cross-platform > support) > > - New process launching API > > - Improved documentation > > And other major stuff in the pipeline: > > - Multitouch support (coming in 3.14) > > - Data models > > - Scene graph > > - Wayland > > So I think there is a compelling story about how GTK+ is developing, > and where it is going to end up. > > Allan > _______________________________________________ > engagement-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list >
