I don't like QT by johannesg · 2016-09-03 18:46 · Score: 1, Troll

I'm sorry, but I really don't like QT. It's not C++ - they have their own little language that compiles to C++ using an external compiler. It has crappy alternatives for everything in STL that work just slightly different but not any better. It has copy-on-write. It doesn't use inheritance, but gives you endless lists of almost-identical function calls (all those functions to add controls, for example). And that stupid Q everywhere you look is just painful.
