I hope they're more than funny. I understand the whole competition argument, but I definitely identify more with those who argue that a lack of UI consistency between popular open source software has hampered the adoption of Linux on the desktop. Let's face it. While GTK is a fine effort it is vastly inferior to Qt on both an API/functionality level, and a look-and-feel level, and a cross-platform level. Qt is frankly miles ahead of GTK. I hope that GTK apps will be ported to Qt and GTK go away pertinently. This will really help both new Linux users and developers. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
