Not sure why you believe that, I built some (small) Qt applications so I know it's not a web framework, I was just referring to slow software in general.
I think it's less true now, but I remember KDE (Qt-based) being slower and buggier than gnome (Gtk-based) a couple of years ago, just to cite one thing. It just felt like Qt-based stuff was in general more of a pain to use & heavier than GTK based stuff. It's really a matter of personal preference here and Qt is a nice project, just that I have some criticism here regarding performance choices. I feel like bad performance decisions tend to snowball and get multiplied when people make library choices and add their own performance issues on top.
- simonh 4y ago> Not sure why you believe that… Because you included it in a list that otherwise only contained web tech frameworks. It’s not clear to me why you think those are peers of Qt and implied to me that you think they are near equivalents.
- int_19h 4y agoKDE apps tend to use KDE frameworks, which is quite a bit of stuff on top of what pure Qt offers. Pure Qt apps were always comparable to Gtk in performance.
- kaba0 4y agoWith all due respect, you made quite a strong claim based on very little proof/experience.
- antoineMoPa 4y agoYeah I agree, I don't have actual data to back this snowballing effect idea.
