Does anyone else find it funny that corona_coder is endorsing products from a company called Trolltech?

Yeah, I'm figuring it's a subtle clue from him to those who think he's serious. It's pretty clever, actually.

WFor those of you, who like me, had never heard of QT, and wish to look at the sheer elegance and wonderful design implemented by those visual gods at trolltech, and their genius (have you got the sarcasm yet?), you can see a shot below (click for big).
Who else thinks that this reminds them of 1996?

1996? Visual Studio looked better than that in 1996

It's nice to see the Linux guys catching up with what Windows and Mac development environments have had for 15 years.

I don't like or use QT, for my own reasons; however they offer a true cross platform gui library plus a visual editor / generator that works, something Visual (?) C++ (Win32) still lacks...

Why would Microsoft want this? Surely locking developers to Windows is exactly what they want to do, and is one of the really big reasons why hardly anyone develops for Linux or Mac?

Since when was QT a Linux-only API? Notice how its for Windows and OS X too.
Probably the biggest problem with Linux and FOSS UNIXs is that they have nothing to claim for themselves.
That is the side-effect of being both free, open source and having the least marketshare. -

A good built-in non-managed API? No, Windows never had that and probably never will.
What does linux use when it's not (ab)using the console? The .Net libraries are infinitely better than Java Swing, although it has many issues that they ought to sort out (looking at richeditcontrol here).
Also MFC's actually pretty good, although it takes a big chunk'a space in your exe when you include it.

cool. I must subscribe to your blog. -
Umm, another "nail" in the coffin of .NET? I love your elaboration as to why Qt is "superior" to .NET, which is essentially baseless and full of cess pool goodness.

corona_coder is an idiot, but hopefully that won't discourage people from taking a look at qt, which is actually a decent cross-platform GUI toolkit.
