  "textContent": "> I'd gladly use it on a daily basis instead of the Gtk3 version I'm using now.\n\nWell, you thankfully still can compile PM against GTK2, the only problem with the latter being with distros that stop providing packages for it...\n\nThus why a Qt port feels more than desirable to me: it avoids the GTK 3/4 plague, and still allows to use GTK2 themes (i.e. no difference in \"look and feel\" with today's GTK2 PM builds)...\n\n\n> But if a Qt5 variant could be added to the code reasonably easy then it might be of value at least for a certain segment of the userbase that are currently on a KDE system and would prefer Qt5 to Qt6 which might not be mature enough for their liking. And for me as well, as Qt6 is still a very recent addition to this system, .../...\n\nYes, Qt5 is mature and stable, whereas Qt6 is still a moving target, with serious issues and incompatibilities between minor releases (e.g. 6.2 vs 6.3), that IMHO makes it \"too young\" and not widely adopted enough (not all distros got Qt6 and not all of them got the same Qt6 minor version), at least for now.\n\n* * *",
