Can you give some context for this comment? Does Unity do some trickery to stylize Gtk and Qt apps identically?

- mixedCase 10y agoNew Unity was to be built using Qt/QML. Qt plays ball with any environment and looks native everywhere (although perfect adherence to HIGs requires tweaks). Gtk looks native only in GNOME, thus, it is a horrible choice for portable GUIs (even throughout different Linux desktops). Canonical getting behind Qt meant more effort was going towards making it a better development platform outside of C++, in fact early on they sponsored the development of Go QML bindings. But now that's gone, and we're back to having no hope for that.
