As has been stated on the other threads many times -
The team has already made the decision to go with GTK. There's more
experience on the team with GTK, and the ball is already rolling. The code
is sufficiently modular that if someone wants to invest the time and effort
to make a Qt version, that is possible, but it's not a focus of the team
right now. We're trying to get a version that works, period.
So please, there's been enough threads on this already. The work using GTK
began long ago (relatively), and now the team is focused on making progress
and getting things done. Unless you're asking for code reviews for your
patches to make a Qt version, please stop with all the threads on Qt (or
move it to -discuss).
Thanks.
