Intel Dev: GTK's Biggest Problem, and What Qt Does Better 282
Freshly Exhumed writes "Phoronix has an article about how 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."

There hasn't been a good GTK / Qt flamewar around here for ages!
Now that Qt is free, shouldn't we be migrating away from GTK?

That's awfully big talk, from the company that unleashed EFI upon an innocent and unsuspecting public.

So Linus and Dirk are not compatible with 'old'-style linux users? That is hilarious.
