I believe you misunderstood me. I was referring specifically to examples you provided. The only thing they demonstrate is that in GTK+ a window must be created explicitly whereas in Qt it is created implicitly. I am not too familiar with GTK, but I know Qt internals fairly well and can say that Qt is kind of messy. So I don't think rewriting XFCE in Qt is worth it. That entails a complete rewrite which means we'll just get yet another DE.

What you described was just a silly mistake. I understand from experience that silly mistakes can make someone dislike a library or even entire programming language, but it doesn't mean that that library/language is bad. > _______________________________________________ > Xfce4-dev mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-dev _______________________________________________ Xfce4-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-dev
