RE: Re: Qt widgets Improvement

I'd propose that nothing you do *requires* Qt. There are many uses for GUI-less 
flowgraphs. Qt is a heavyweight framework; it should not be required in order 
to build GRC flowgraphs.

I guess it depends on what you think the dominant design doctrine should be  
"gorgeous UI with the DSP as a kind of afterthought",
   or "robust DSP with the UI as a kind of afterthought".   I don't think that 
Qt designer is a particularly productive way to design
   the DSP bits of a DSP application.

The whole "form is more important than function" is a bit of leftover 
brain-death promulgated by Steve Jobs, and it was as
   wrong-headed then as it is now, IMHO.
