GTK? QT? And, since we're talking elementary, Vala?
- pjmlp 10y agoNot really, they don't even cover half of these ones https://developer.apple.com/reference/ https://developer.apple.com/reference/ Not to mention the related GUI tooling. Where is Instruments on QtCreator, for example.
- matzipan 10y agoYou have valgrind and many other tools instead of "Instruments". The GNOME project itself [1] has a lot of projects which compete with what you linked. Sure, Apple has a few billion dollars to dump into development every year, so you have to adjust for scale. [1] https://developer.gnome.org/references https://developer.gnome.org/references
- pjmlp 10y agoNone of them has the polish of a full working desktop stack like macOS. Once upon a time, around 2000-2, I did some minor contributions to Gtkmm.
- makomk 10y agoGTK has been fairly hostile to non-Gnome usage since the GTK 3 era; they keep on breaking backwards compatibility for applications that use it, don't care about whether apps can be used on non-Gnome desktop environments, etc. I don't think it's all that polished either.
- marrs 10y agoI instantly believe you, based on my experience of the fiasco that is Gnome 3, but can you share some examples of this?
