Other/future projects • Re: GTK2 revival

That's all well and good, but we're on Gnome version 50 now, and anything on GTK3 is already ancient history if you are talking in terms of future-proofing your project. As i said, the disconnect between Gnome development and actual home desktop use is widening so much that at some point something is likely to break badly. Anyway, Qt looks good from that perspective, but I'm not the one that's going to do all the hard work, only you can decide what's worthwhile for you to do.

Yeah, that sounds like we pretty much agree, we're just coming at this from different angles.

But yeah, I am definitely well aware (painfully aware and more so than I've wanted to let on for years) that MATE and Cinnamon are buying us time on Linux already... if it weren't for those, distros might have dropped GTK3 already by now and we would have been left with no way to run on modern Linux period. I was honestly a little worried while I was in college that when I was done and able to get back to UXP development, I'd come back to see that everything was basically unusable for end users on Linux.
