Shuttleworth Sees Possibility For a QT-based GNOME
An anonymous reader writes "derStandard.at has an extensive interview with Ubuntu-founder Mark Shuttleworth, in which he seems to be pushing for a switch to QT in the GNOME-project: 'I think it would be perfectly possible to deliver the values of GNOME on top of QT.' He goes on to talk about Apple as an 'innovation leader' and problems with Hardy Heron."
I think the original point of GNOME is already moot. Just let it die, with all its braindead file selection dialogs and reversed OK and Cancel buttons too.
Myself, I prefer GTK and GNOME to QT and KDE. First off, I don't like the KDE interface, the big K button (I think it is called the kicker...) is cluttered much like the Windows one. Whereas in GNOME its easy to make it be 3 different buttons cutting down on clutter quite a bit. Also, GNOME seems much more solid and stable to KDE, and QT applications less stable then the GNOME alternatives. But, in the end they both benefit from each other, if you want KDE stick with KDE, I prefer GNOME so I should stay with GNOME.
