  "textContent": "> And it's like... as much as it may annoy users for me to say this, from a developer standpoint, targeting all the GTK3 desktops is similar to targeting GNOME 3. Users may like MATE and Cinnamon better because of creature comforts and classic feel, but under the hood from the perspective of an application developer, targeting them feels a lot like targeting GNOME 3, especially in the case of Cinnamon.\n\nThat'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.\n\n* * *",
