Well, we also have a room full of people right here who use GTK in Linux and are perfectly fine with it, so…
What should the punchline be? "Works for me 🤷"?

And when someone tells you that your software can't be built in Debian with latest version of dependencies and segfaults even when patched to be buildable… Let me guess, you tell them WONTFIX: "Go fuck yourself and use the versions that I use" — congratulations, you've reinvented snaps/flatpaks without wasting any effort on providing the infrastructure 😂

@newt
Have you ever seen that? A developer relying on whatever their distro gives them if that is their immediate dependency?
There are reasons for that — testing with different versions, avoiding distro-specific patches…

No! Just no! It's a steaming disgusting pile of crap!

When a developer tells me: "I use Qt because it's the easiest way to make my software cross-platform",— I think… Okay, you've given up on the way your software looks and feels and took the easy way out. Other options require lots of effort, it's not for everyone. It's somewhat acceptable, but when I see something like this from the user's perspective:

And no matter how they modularise it, to develop with it you still have to build this giant monolith comparable to Firefox and Chrome, and it has an optional component based on the latter.
Man, can anything — anything at all, be worse than this… thing! 🤢
@mischievoustomato @prettygood @adiz

@newt
It's basically like Delphi or rather C++ Builder, but cross-platform — and in no OS it looks native.
To be fair, I know a couple of commercial applications for Mac OS X using Qt that almost look natively, but A LOT of effort was put into it. In Windows it always looks like an illegal alien, and in Linux it's so ugly that you can scare children with it 😱
@mischievoustomato @prettygood @adiz

@newt
This might even sound reasonable were we not comparing it to Qt — Qt for fuck's sake! The single most disgusting thing in two universes.
Which in 2002 was more bloated than the web BTW — QML is the grandfather of modern web debauchery. The only good thing about it is that it contains a wide range of ready to use components — that's what they did with GTK4, so now development dependencies drag even GStreamer in, but somehow you don't like it.
