I was simply pointing out a basic fact.

There are plenty of other reasons to invest time and effort into GTK3 and
Clutter.

However if you want to make a QT version of jAMin and port it to C++ at
the same time there is nothing to stop you from doing so. But in that case
I would definitely suggest we spin up a new repo tree and host it there.

We could even have a competition to see which tree grows the fastest and
offers the most powerful interface to the end user :-)

It's all good but I'll put my time into the GTK3/Clutter interface.
