Does anyone else think we need a new open-source widget toolkit? Qt, GTK, and what else is there? Those guys are old. I've done both, and WPF, and WPF is just so much better. I wish there was an open-source toolkit that didn't just suck.
- papaf 13y agoNewer versions (4.7 - 5.1) of Qt are really nice and you have many levels of interaction. 1. Standard C++ ui designed in a form designer and connected to C++ classes. 2. QML + javascript. 3. OpenGL with the ability to use widgets on the OpenGL viewport.
- coldtea 13y agoYes, most are old and tiered. But another problem is, there is not a company/organization or even language community to take on such a big endeavour. I'd like to see a C based toolkit, that's made specifically for wrapping it up for other languages (in C++, Ruby, Python, Go etc) and has niceties to help with this.

This is exactly, why GTK+ and essentially the whole GNOME stack is now introspected with GObjectIntrospection. So, there you have it.
