Yeah, the KDE Free Qt arrangement is pretty unique and makes it significantly less likely that there will be a rapid dropoff in Qt open source. This became important because the modern Qt company is awful.
That said, I still think the direction of Qt has kind of sucked. QtWidgets is mostly stagnating, and Qt Quick is not really appealing to me…
- qalmakka 5y agoOn the bright side, PySide has finally been adopted by Qt as its official bindings, and it has made PyQt largely redundant. I find it simplifies a lot Qt app development on desktop, and it has the potential to attract a lot of new developers to the platform. While QtWidgets are stagnating and Qt Quick is arguably very "HUD"-centric and barebones for desktop development, there are nice portable UI toolkits such as KDE's Kirigami popping out that are very usable even without KDE.
