What's wrong with Qt (and such) ??
(For instance : VLC, Spyder...)
- rijoja 6y agoWell developers that can use those are probably more expensive for one.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoAre they ? http://www.pyqtgraph.org/ http://www.pyqtgraph.org/
- rijoja 6y agoI'd bet that there are more people who knows and if you follow the law of supply and demand I think you can figure out the rest. What is python qt support like for android and so forth by the way?
- BlueTemplar 6y agoLooks like it was added with Qt5 (which itself uses Python 3 rather than Qt4's Python 2).
- rualca 6y ago> What's wrong with Qt (and such) ?? Compared with simple html+javascript running on a webview, Qt is relatively hard to maintain and develop, relies on source code generations and processors to work, prototyping tools are subpar and undermaintained, has no support for centralized theming, it's basic support for component-specific theming is already CSS shoved in a convoluted way, its model/view take is absurd and very poorly engineered, and yeah there's the fact that it forces you to write frontend code in C++. But wait, it's not even C++ because it requires code to be preprocessed to generate boilerplate code. And let's not pretend that Qt's widgets successor is already a markup+javascript combo that takes the bad parts of javascript and bundles it with the bad parts of a custom markup language.
