they are not ported to qt either. porting to gtk3 is in progress.
i'd say that firefox is more big and important than gimp. porting is slow because of lack of manpower.
i heard that qt has better multiplatform(read non-linux) story
you are lunatic, all of them are gtk3

Originally posted by Volta View PostMaybe because they weren't Qt apps? It takes damn much time to port them to gtk3.
Originally posted by Volta View PostFirefox isn't gtk3 application. It uses gtk3 for some little parts.
Originally posted by Volta View PostThe reasons some of them were ported to Qt were gtk3 downsides like braking compatibility.

Originally posted by pal666 View Postgnome is desktop environment. it is a tool for running applications. it never had a goal to bundle every possible application. gimp, libreoffice or firefox are not part of gnome. there is no "support" for toolkits in gnome, it runs application in any toolkit or even without toolkits at all.
