This always surprises me whenever I look into cross-platform GUI toolkits. The closest is Qt as you mentioned. What really gets me is GTK's continued popularity on Linux when Qt is so much easier to develop with.
- numlock86 8y agoProbably a side effect from the popularity of Ubuntu which - since they dropped Unity - go still strong with GTK as they use Gnome now out of the box. And Ubuntu is like the de facto standard desktop distribution.
- tracker1 8y agoProbably a hold over from Trolltech's original license for Qt. Also, GPL is a non-starter for a LOT of companies.
