- badsectoracula 7y agoIf you want to stick with C++, wxWidgets. If you don't mind using other languages, IMO LCL/Lazarus is superior to pretty much every other toolkit, including Qt. Note that the above are for making desktop applications, not mobile applications nor anything relevant outside of the GUI side of a desktop application.
- qwerty456127 7y agoGtk3 obviously isn't an alternative as it's not really cross-platform (perhaps it is, I don't know for sure, but I haven't ever seen a single GTK3 app on Windows or on a Mac, there probably is a reason). Electron? Perhaps but it's ridiculously resource-hungry. What remains are wxWidgets and, maybe, Flutter.
- cycloptic 7y agoGTK3 works decently well on those platforms but there are still minor bugs and compatibility issues. There is no reason for this other than that there hasn't been much interest among developers in keeping the backends up to date. Also, GTK3 recently hit maintenance mode and most developer activity has moved to GTK4.
