- darksaints 5y agoQt is about as ideal as you can get for cross platform apps. Unfortunately the licensing is an impediment for a lot of usecases.
- drclau 5y agoSo, Microsoft should buy Qt then.
- zvrba 5y agoYeah, and support it on .net.
- skeletal88 5y agoPlease, no! They would fuck it up somehow, and then abandon it after a few years. Qt has been very stable and dependable for.. ages. MS has created and forgot then forgot too many frameworks during the same time.
- sircastor 5y agoCouldn’t they just buy a commercial license?
- solarkraft 5y agoOr something like it, maybe something already running on .net ...
- sircastor 5y agoA few years back my company put out reqs for Qt devs because we were pushing hard to do some POCs with Qt frameworks. We had a hard time finding those people. I don’t know if it was location or compensation or what.
- jopsen 5y agoUnless you need to make a really complicated UI, do you really need Qt devs? I did a custom widget for editing petri-nets in Qt (no QML), you just need competent devs, whether you have Qt, GTK, or winforms experience doesn't matter.

- BadInformatics 5y agoFunnily enough, Microsoft does use Qt for parts of the OneDrive UI: https://forum.qt.io/topic/87898/microsoft-onedrive-sync-uses-qt-and-is-hiring-seattle-usa https://forum.qt.io/topic/87898/microsoft-onedrive-sync-uses.... What that says about the state of UI framework fragmentation on Windows is up to interpretation.
