VCF - A Free BSD Competitor To Trolltech's Qt?

Posted by simoniker on from the atari-vcf dept.

TioHoltzman writes "There's a new 0-6-5 release available of the VCF, aka the Visual Component Framework. This release has a slew of new features, and it looks like it could become a real contender against Trolltech's Qt toolkit. It currently runs on Win32 platforms with an active Mac OS X port underway. There's still lots to do, but it can run some of the samples now on OS X. There are some screenshots here (1), here (2), and here (3)."

    What Linux desperately needs are toolkits! You cannot have too many toolkits. The lacking diversity of toolkits is the major reason that the Linux(TM) Desktop Experience sucks more than anything else.

    Every application should be in a different toolkit so it has a unique look and feel.
