It needs a really good       editor with tab completion for stuff like gtk_window_set_default_size(). I       understand namespace pollution and so forth but I always had the feeling       'Yes, dammit, I know I'm using gtk. I don't have to type it on every       line.'              Qt wasn't on the table for proprietary work. It wasn't so much the       licensing cost as much as the Trolls never could figure out exactly what       it was. That eventually trickled down to PyQt and Riverside so I use       PySide6.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
