- sigzero 13y agoVast oversimplification...really.
- mindstab 13y agoand say things like 64bit windows (only the most popular desktop OS on the planet) with a non alpha GUI toolkit.
- malkia 13y agoQt has much more compact packaging - few dlls, maybe plugins, and even static linking maybe possible for GPL or other free software. While I love gtk for the fact that it's C, it's not that easy to use from ffi-exposed systems like luajit, since it relies too much on preprocessor macro magic that has to be replicated there...
