 Developers: we don't feel like using GTK for new complex applications. We'd rather use Qt or ImGui or whatever. In fact, we'd rather create our own toolkit than use GTK. GNOME: okay, here is our 5-years strategic plan, mostly about inclusivity and promotion of GNOME. Note how we are not addressing your concerns. Please send us feedback. 6 comments
@prokoudine To be fair, the GNOME Foundation doesn't handle anything in regard to the actual development direction. @prokoudine Those are good questions to which I don't really have an answer. I've never really looking into it, but what are some of the major problems encountered with GTK that isn't the case in others? @NekkoDroid some of them are covered in Paul's response in https://librearts.org/2020/06/podcast-episode-002-paul-davis-part-1/ |

@prokoudine Yeah... The "GNOME Toolkit" 😛 is a dead end for non-GNOME software, especially cross-platform. Just fork it already and call it the "General Toolkit", or use something else.
