minus-squareAvid Amoeba@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·11 months agoI was joking. It’s not abandonware, however it’s an atrocious development toolkit compared to Qt.
minus-squareinterceder270@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down10·11 months agoCause gnome has been on a steady decline ever since gnome3.
minus-squareAatube@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up10·edit-211 months ago Gnome is a DE, GTK is a GUI toolkit I would NOT say it has been on decline. It’s pretty good for its target. There also hasn’t been any regressions I can see except for the obvious Nautilus. (I use MATE, but mostly because of its looks)

minus-squareAatube@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·edit-211 months ago Not anymore GIMP ≠ GNOME by a fucking mile GTK isn’t from GNOME either
minus-squaremacaroni1556@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·edit-211 months agoWhat do you mean “not anymore”? You can’t rewrite history… The G in GTK comes from GIMP. It was formerly called GIMP ToolKit. I was replying to the comment thread suggesting they should switch to Qt.
minus-squareAatube@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·11 months agoAh, well you probably should’ve replied to the root then. By not anymore, I precisely mean that it’s not “GIMP ToolKit” anymore, it’s just GTK with no meaning at all.

Did they finally switch to Qt?
why would they? gnome has primarily used gtk for a lot of time. also, what do you mean “finally”? it’s not like gtk is some kind of abandonware
I was joking. It’s not abandonware, however it’s an atrocious development toolkit compared to Qt.
why
Cause gnome has been on a steady decline ever since gnome3.
