You have a choice to install a non GTK4 program with an identical function. And yet 60K people chose the GTK4 option. You may not like the UI, totally fine, but clearly plenty of people do when they're looking through a catalog of just screenshots and pick the GTK4 option.
- ekianjo 3y agoplease give me examples of programs that have exactly identical functions
- jdiff 3y agoAmberol? Celluloid? Mission Center? Practically every toolkit out there has one of each these apps before it even hits version 1.0 just as a demo of its capabilities. There's dozens if not hundreds. Bottles has PlayOnLinux or Lutris. I'm not familiar enough with the Linux audio landscape to know any Easy Effects alternatives for it off the top of my head. Nobody's locked into anything or being forced into GTK4. Heck, Celluloid is just straight up a wrapper around MPV.
- ekianjo 3y agoBottles is much better designed than PlayonLinux (which is a dead project) or Lutris which have absolutely dreadful UX paradigms. They are not even equivalent piece of software, and that has nothing to do with GTK4.
- jdiff 3y agoThen let's take that one example off our friend upthread's list and I fully believe their point still stands very strong. Users use the GTK4 apps that devs chose GTK4 to build with, and that stands even when an app has competition in its space. The evidence given demonstrates that pretty clearly.
