Has anyone seen these benchmarks:

It compares Cairo (what GTK+ uses) against QT. When it comes to rendering, I
believe Qtopia & QT use the same code. So ignoring X,
"Qt was respectively 7, 5 and 6 times faster. Than Cairo in those plain tests."
Now factor in the fact that QWS has a lot less overhead than X and a smaller
memory footprint.
Can someone _please_ give me a technical reason why they believe GTK+ is
"better"? The only arguments I've seen on this list are philosophical ones. The
only technical argument has been that you can run applications on the phone and
have them appear on your desktop thanks to X. Surely there is a better reason?
Portability would be the main reason. I guess.
But hey. Philosophical reasons are damn good reasons if you have to work
with that stuff!
Many people just cant stand the pain using C++. ;-)
Someone had to make that choice. And it was made. I bet for good reasons.
If you don't like it? Ignore it. Make it better. Whatever.
No one made a decision for _you_.
My first thought when Nokia released Maemeo was they are stupid. But
success proves them right. When OpenMoKo started, these experience where
already made. I would do the same today.
