Qt's future is ??? SDL 1.3 (2.0) future is good, now that Sam is doing this full time, and has other people working for his company. Converting to SDL 1.3 won't be that difficult AFAICS. Converting to Qt is mostly all done, it (did) mostly work on MSVC, and linux when I tried, but haven't tried in awhile. We still have major mac issues I believe, with both keyboard input and output (Display keys).
We also have the issues mentioned in http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/1549 to deal with. The GUI is more or less ok for in-game, and crap everywhere else. I think we can use Qt's GUI for all the setup/lobby screen, and forget about the current way we use the current GUI for this stuff. I would also like to bring back FBO support, so we can render the map into a texture, like what SupCom does for that map preview. If we go the SDL route, then we would use a 3rd party lib for the GUI, or keep hacking the current one.
