Qt is an amazing framework which got many things right!
The combo C++ QML QtQuick made my life so much easier for a cross-platform OSX/Win app.
I was able to develop most of it on Linux, and it even looks nifty!
What else can you wish ? :)
- cm3 11y agoI also prefer Qt but starting with Qt4 it imposes a minimum memory overhead of 25MiB to 30MiB for even a simple single window application with nothing in it. QML is likely higher. I don't like Gtk3 but they don't have this particular disadvantage. It's too much overhead and I haven't found a fix.
- fla 11y agoYes that's one of the downside. Also, the binaries can get fat really quick. Especially when you link statically with some of the Qt components. I guess it's a fair trade-off when you target today's desktop systems. Otherwise, it might worth looking at Qt for Embedded Linux.
