[glob2-devel] Are you inspired by Paris ?

[Stéphane Magnenat]

Hi girls and guy (there is at least one girl here right?),

It makes my hearth so warm that in this world where everything slips 
apart there is some Immutable Gardens of Stability, some places where 
things keep being the same again and again, like a crystal of eternity, 
forever since the Ancient times. Nevertheless, that's a bit sad that 
those things are (flame)WARs ! But as it only kills bits and people's 
time, they are mostly harmless.

Yet for your own good, before engaging your mighty armies of arguments, 
please check your sources ! ;-)

Well, now that I have given my wise words on the meaning of life, let's 
express my view:
I would prefer QT to GTK because:
- It has to best documentation. I've just checked the documentation of 
the latest stable release of GTK, and it is not complete.
- It has superior language. Did you ever tried to make a glib object 
yourself?
- It has more (accelerated) rendering backends, such as OpenGL, GDI+, 
SVG. As far as I know, GTK is still not using Cairo.
- It has more additional features in the base distribution, such as 
network, threading, etc... Nevertheless, those features are optional, 
QT4 is modular.
Furthermore, I can't see any drawbacks compared to GTK, the license 
problem does not exist any more since QT4, as the GPL version is 
available on all platforms.
Other toolkits, such as WxWindow, Tk, Lesstif, ... are not complete 
enough to even be taken in consideration.

Well, you can still discuss if you wish, enjoy yourself, but I doubt the 
usefulness of such discussions; anyway if it makes you happy, go on ;-)

Have a nice day,

Steph
