How did this trash survive for so long?
>>106491479I love QT. Always had weird problems with GTK3 applications.
>>106491479There are other options but you need higher IQ to use them.
>>106491486GTK may be even worse, sure. And there are choices even worse than GTK beyond that.>>106491500Such as?
>>106491523>Such as?You can build anything you want with SDL. A simple GUI isn't difficult to do if you know the graphics pipeline.
>>106491479A lot of C++ programmers seem like masochists to me. Imagine paying $3000-4000 annually for UI.
>>106491572it will look like absolute trash
>>106491580$3k vs $300k to develop your own. It's cheaper.
>>106491591So every video game looks like trash?
>>106491572>>106491591Looking it nice isn't so hard, but you will miss a lot of standard mechanisms, which you will all have to implement yourself.Still seems more reasonable than using bloated bullshit monsters with garbage APIs like Qt or GTK.
>>106491600where did you pull $300k from? Also, GTK and webtech for UI is free.>>106491591lmao you realize you can make it look however you want, right?
>>106491624>where did you pull $300k from?A good programmer is at least $100k / y and it'll take you 1 - 3 years to make a GUI framework depending on how complex it needs to be.
>>106491622>you will miss a lot of standard mechanisms, which you will all have to implement yourselfSDL3 is really good at interfacing with the OS. It's just the graphics side to worry about.
>>106491591no?
It's maintained by a publicly traded company with €1.19 B market cap.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_Group
>>106491651NTA, but what about accessibility tools?
>>106491479Most of the alternatives are somehow worse.
>>106491479It's more than just a UI framework. It's an alternative to the broken C++ standard library.
>>106491479I've been thinking about using Tauri or Wails for desktop GUI stuff next time I have to deal with it.
>>106491784Just say webview next time. You don't get to avoid getting tagged webshit just because the launcher is rust or go. You're making a backend + webview frontend
>>106491740I don't care about the handicapped and the disabled so whatever
>>106491479>trashHow about you show us your superior multiplatform GUI toolkit?
>>106491781>C++ is suddenly not so broken anymore (STL is still shit but you don't feel like having to kill yourself anymore)>Qt is stuck with its own containers with different semantics>want to switch to standard C++ ones>but can't>bitrotting bloated trash continues forever
i'm not sure if there is an alternativealso, signals & slots is actually really comfy
>>106491920QMillions Qmust Qsuffer
>>106491864I was unfamiliar with the more generic name.
>>106491479automotive industry and medical i think
the alternatives are far worse
>>106491935>also, signals & slots is actually really comfyImagine thinking like this. Signals and slots were a hack because C++ sucked so hard that you couldn't just do callbacks to methods or functions with pure C++. They had to extend C++ with their "meta compiler" to achieve that. Now, it can be implemented with loads of gibberish in C++11 code (which is what the connect method does now), but it's still not pretty. Meanwhile, retarded languages like javascript supported it trivially since their inception.Holy fuck I hate C++ so much.
>>106491740Access these balls.
>>106492116You removed them 1 year ago.
>>106491479the alternatives are worse. Vala is comfy until you touch the dogshit glib docs. Lazarus ide would be peak if it wasn't so outdated.
>>106491479I just make my desktop apps in Flutter.
>>106491479Ok so I love KDE but holy fuck I hate Qt.Honestly its not only just bad but the documentation is spread across MULTIPLE (at least 5 from what I found) different fucking websites that they keep going "oh we're moving to a new <x>! update your bookmarks!" And then you go over there and maybe 30% of the previous site actually got ported.Its fucking insane
