I yet have to see justification of gtk+ existence - other than legacy
application like FireFox, GIMP, etc.
I.e. I don't see in what gtk+ is better than Qt. There was a thread here about
gtk+ slowness compared to Qt.
gtk+-2.*.* is about 2x slower than Qt (IIRC) and gtk+-3.*.* was slower than
gtk+-2.*.*.
I am using gtk+ through its Perl bindings - there were no good Qt Perl
bindings at the moment I made my decision several years ago.
Nowadays there is QML (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QML ) and in my opinion, though I do not
know Javascript, it can be compared to Perl (e.g. closures are present),
so today I'd probably choose Qt + QML.
I really want to hear insights from gtk+ "gods" in which they'll explain gtk+
advantages over Qt.
Regards,
Sergei.
