In the middle.

My language is better than your language.

My IDE is better than your IDE.

My release license is better than your release license.

It's not about how big it is, but how you use it.

Wait, that actually makes sense in this context. Scratch it.

Lets try to keep it on topic people - This is a holy flame war!
GTK is better because its first letter appears earlier in the alphabet.
QT is better because it has lesser characters and actually can be pronounced to form a known English word.

Just for those that thinks qt is not easy, this is little tool that shows how to create a button that when clicked emit a signal on the session bus.

mywidget.h

Code:

#include <QWidget>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QVBoxLayout>
#include <QDBusConnection>

class MyWidget : public QWidget
{
  Q_OBJECT
  public:
  MyWidget() : QWidget() {
    QDBusConnection::sessionBus().registerObject("/",this,QDBusConnection::ExportAllContents);
    new QVBoxLayout(this);
    QPushButton *b = new QPushButton("emit signal",this);
    layout()->addWidget(b);
    connect(b,SIGNAL(clicked()),SIGNAL(clicked()));
    show();
  }
  signals:
    void clicked();
};

main.cpp

Code:

#include <QApplication>
#include "mywidget.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  new MyWidget();
  return app.exec();
}

gui_dbus.pro

Code:

SOURCES += main.cpp
QT += gui dbus
HEADERS += mywidget.h

That's was done in 2 minutes using vi, 20 seconds of that was spent to launch "assistant", type in the search bar "registerObject", click on RegisterOptions and retrieve QDBusConnection::ExportAllContents define that I always do not remember.

Further some seconds to build and launch:

qmake; make; ./gui_dbus

tested with dbus-monitor:

signal sender=:1.223 -> dest=(null destination) serial=6 path=/; interface=local.MyWidget; member=clicked

Now convince me that is easy and fast to use gtk, dbus lib, autoscan, autoreconf, configure, pkgconfig, and so on....

Hi Khertan,
may you motivate?

Yep ... i ... just a matter of preferences, i didn't like how qtdesigner works and how qwidget are made, i found that many widget in the qt frameworks are really too more complicated that what they should be. Also because it s tends to do some things automatically for you, but sometime you didn't want that, but you can't prevent it without using many turn around.
