I tried to use QT with python, "I'm a big boy I can make native UI!" I said to myself... let's say I rather shoot myself than try QT ever again.

- seba_dos1 8y ago...and I have 5 years of professional experience as a JavaScript developer, yet I strongly prefer to write desktop apps and utilities with Qt (both PyQt and C++/Qt) than Electron.
- mattigames 8y agoYou do you, I tried to make a simple list on PyQt and everything went wrong, a lot of signal issues, a lot of debugging compile issues, missing dependencies, wronly versioned dependencies despite downloading QT straigt from the site, never again going away from CSS and JS. And with flexbox and SASS is a pleasure to write CSS anyways.
- simion314 8y agoFor simple UI you need to understand how layout works and then use the drag and drop designer. IMO is much simpler then learning and debugging CSS issues. If you want to create custom elements I assume is simpler to do it in html with a couple of nested divs, background images and some css rules and some trickery and most probably your custom widget is not accessible and missing some nice features. As an example I know toolkits(Qt,Flex4) that can render huge tables of data, allow customization and are very efficient and you don't need third party libraries for that.
