- troupo 3y agoThe best cross platform desktop GUI is Qt.
- synergy20 3y agowhose license model is a mess unless your GUI is totally open source.
- wtetzner 3y agoIsn't it just LGPL? Why is that a "mess"?
- synergy20 3y agoI'm not a lawyer, I wish it's as simple as "it's just LGPL", it's not. Otherwise Qt has already conquered the desktop GUI world, it did not for a reason: the license mess.
- troupo 3y agoIt did conquer (-ish) the desktop GUI world, for a while: quite a lot of software was written in it. And then Electron happened.
- palata 3y ago> And then Electron happened. Which is worse for users, but better for developer productivity (probably nicer for developers too: C++ is not exactly fun). I am still hoping that JVM Desktop apps come back at some point, maybe with Kotlin Multiplatform?
