GTK is so ugly and there are so many problems, I have to ask: why do people persist with it?
There are better options aren't there? There must be something amazing about it I don't understand - can somebody enlighten me?
- md8z 5y agoGTK is currently the only realistic choice for a (somewhat) modern desktop toolkit for Linux written in C. There's still a lot of C programs and programmers out there. For me it's also one of the better options for a Linux toolkit with decent Rust bindings. The Rust-native toolkits aren't quite there yet, but I'm watching this page: https://www.areweguiyet.com/ https://www.areweguiyet.com/
