Shuttleworth Sees Possibility For a QT-based GNOME

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the left-some-neurons-in-space dept.

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 agree. I have had far more stability using gtk apps then qt apps. I have also had far more stability using gnome then kde.

    Truth be told, as a user, I don't care much about the technical aspects of each. I just want stable programs that look great with a feel that matches the rest of my desktop and integrates into the environment.

    As a developer, I want a stable, well documented, api and good ide support.

    Right now I like gtk because it meets that criteria better (in my opinion).

    I'd happily switch to anything that does the job better. I do not see a point in switching to anything that does the job just as well.
