Anyway, the main differences are: - Qt is C++ based but it uses C++ in its own way because of its cross-platform nature (through a special preprocessor) - GTK is C based but it uses its own "object oriented" approach. - Qt can rely on QtDesigner and KDevelop that, together, make up a real IDE (similar to Visual Studio) - GTK must rely on Glade only, that is a GUI builder equivalent to QtDesigner. There is nothing like KDevelop for GTK (AFAIK). - Qt runs (with recompilation) on Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows (all versions) - GTK runs on Linux. There is a porting of the old GTK1.2 for Windows. A Porting for Mac OS X is under development (AFAIK) - Qt has internal support for scripting (QAS) - Should you need to add scripting capabilities to a GTK application, you have to embed your own engine (Python, LUA...) - Qt has integrated data-aware widget for data-centric applications. - GTK has a separate project (gnome-db) for data-aware widgtes - Qt-based applications and the KDE desktop "talks" each other via DCOP - GTK applications and Gnome "talks" each other via CORBA - Qt has exhaustive bindings for Python and a few other language (maybe Perl and Scheme) - GTK has exhaustive bindings for C++ (GTKmm), Python (PyGTK) and Ruby. There are less complete bindings for Perl, Scheme, Lua and so on. Have a look at www.gtk.org for a complete listing of the available bindings and their development status. - Qt has exhaustive documentation and a lot of examples form Trolltech and the KDE team - GTK has exhaustive documentation and a lot of examples from GTK team - Qt is freeware on Linux only - GTK is always freeware (but it is not completely available on Windows and MacOS X) Should you need to develop x-platform applications, have a look at wxWindows (and wxPython) as well. The Linux implementation of wxWindows relies on GTK+ but wxWindows can run on Windows (all versions) as well, thanks to MFC, and on MacOS (all versions), thanks to a specific GUI engine.
