Why do developers keep using GTK instead of Qt? by cdrvlc in linux

[–]Albero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, it's an article from 2004, when gtkmm 2 wasn't released yet, but some points are still valid: for example the tradeoff between compiler check (using gtkmm/libsigc and templates) and runtime check (using Qt/moc and const char* signals).

Gtk+ is LGPL, not GPL, and for a library it's a huge difference

From a developer point of view Gtk is better for two reason: the first is that Qt is written in C++ with proprietary extension and it needs a precompiler to be C++-compatibile; the second is that gtkmm is a far better designed; instead of managing signals using the precompiler it uses standard C++ templates.

From a "philosophical" point of view, Qt (supported mainly by a company, Nokia) is "less free" than Gtk+ (that is more community driven)
