Last time I used wxWidgets, more than 10 years ago, the API felt very dated and clumsy compared to Qt for example. Do people still use wxWidgets for new deployment?
- eivarv 6y agoYup. I use it for most cross-platform apps as a default. Quick prototyping with Python and wx would be my typical use-case.
- julosflb 6y agoIdem. I developed quite a number of desktop apps in a professional environment using wxPython. I found easy to quickly prototype new ideas. Also, you have access to the rich python ecosystem that other solutions for producing desktop apps won't have. I found the API to be usable although the event system is bit limited in my opinion. I even chosen it to develop a commercial app in c++(https://seamuove.com https://seamuove.com) mainly because I knew the API. Bonus is that you can produce small single exe using static linking. Overall thanks for the effort dear wx team!
- emddudley 6y agoI currently maintain an app that uses wxPython and it still feels dated and clumsy. Everything is named poorly, the documentation has large gaps, and there are numerous pitfalls and gotchas. I am in the process of moving to PySide and will not be considering wxWidgets for any future projects.
