[opensuse-kde] GTK vs QT on slashdot
Fun thread on the above after a talk by Dirk Hohndel of Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has stirred the hornet's nest with a talk at Australia's Linux.Conf.Au (MP4 file) about what he views as the biggest problem with the GTK: he finds dealing with upstream GTK/GNOME developers to be tough, with frequent abuse and flame-wars, with accusations from the developers that "you're doing it wrong." Conversely, he found the Qt development community to be quite the opposite: willing to engage and help, with plenty of application developer documentation and fewer communication problems than with their GTK counterparts." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Only 100 comments? It would have been 1000+ ten (or 15) years ago. These discussions are becoming a historically interesting conflict like Blur vs Oasis, Pearl Jam vs Nirvana, Beatles vs Stones. Completely impartially, GTK's goose is well and truly cooked and the only ones left fighting for it represent old entrenched interests, standing on burning platforms. Of course Qt's got a whole new(ish) pair of competitors in the form of the IOS platform and whatever you call Android's native SDKs, but GTK vs Qt is settled.

252, sorry, Slashdot introduced some newfangled UI since I stopped reading it with Konqueror ;). -- Will Stephenson SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

252, sorry, Slashdot introduced some newfangled UI since I stopped reading it with Konqueror ;). i was about to say its over 250. They MP4 is illuminating as well, its almost tempted me to learn C++ and QT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
