GTK+ started making less sense for serious desktop development when Qt went LGPL in January 2009 and then went on to become highly modular in Qt5.
The only 'advantage' GTK+ really has over Qt is that it's pure C, so there a lot more bindings for all the languages you're probably not going to use to write significant desktop software anyway.
- tenfingers 13y agoI cannot agree more. GTK+ still exists because that's one of the few pure-C toolkits left around. Qt, wx* and Fltk (which are arguably the other most popular widgets in order of popularity) are all C++. Not to mention that wxWindows on linux actually uses GTK+ for rendering, and it uses a terrible event table mechanism.
