Exciting Features Coming For Qt 5.3

[computerquip]

Yes, too bad it will never be approved by Linus because it is coded in C++.

Why does it need Linus's approval?

Think again:

However, Linus does not "approve" or "disapprove", he just (harshly) criticize things.

Exactly. If you are too lazy to read the link, not only did Linus approve of Qt, he helped port software he was involved in from gtk to Qt.

Qt is bloated

So what! QT may be bloated in your view, but it is faster than GTK whilst having tons more features and cleaner code.

Qt is bloated

Yeah, and it's modular, so take the bloat if you want or not.

QtWebKit should be renamed, QtBlink.

QtWebKit should be renamed, QtBlink.

Why? It is not Blink, Blink will be available as QtWebEngine later this year (hopefully without delays).

Gotcha, but QtWebKit will have to be modified since Blink and WebKit are no longer heading the same direction.

QtWebKit won't be changed, since they'll want to keep binary compatibility for anyone using it. They'll just create a new project for Blink and tell new projects to use that one.

Yes, thats why Linus&Co rewirted Subsurface from GTK to Qt.
