I don't see in what gtk+ is better than Qt. There was a thread here about gtk+ slowness compared to Qt. gtk+-2.*.* is about 2x slower than Qt (IIRC) and gtk+-3.*.* was slower than gtk+-2.*.*. I am using gtk+ through its Perl bindings - there were no good Qt Perl bindings at the moment I made my decision several years ago. Nowadays there is QML ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QML ) and in my opinion, though I do not know Javascript, it can be compared to Perl (e.g. closures are present), so today I'd probably choose Qt + QML. I really want to hear insights from gtk+ "gods" in which they'll explain gtk+ advantages over Qt.
