I was a developer in the 90s and 00s and frankly I thought peoples dislike of Qt was pretty superficial. The problems being that GTK sucked. I’d have forgiven NIH (not invented here) syndrome if GTK was at least as good as Qt but it wasn’t. Frankly I even preferred oldskool Tk over GTK.
In the time frames we are talking about, I also cared very little for NeXT. It did have its fans and deservedly too. But I was banking on BeOS becoming the POSIX workstation of choice. I even preferred that over Linux. But 90s Linux wasn’t exactly a smooth experience like it is today.
These days little has changed my mind about GTK vs Qt.
