Originally posted by oleid View PostI've programmed using both toolkits, started with GTK2 back then when it was new and created freepascal bindings. Also used Qt3, 4 and nowadays Qt5 at work. I still prefer GTK+ as its API is cleaner. And I like its C++ bindings more than Qt's C++ API.

Originally posted by MadCatX View PostGTK is a UI tookit whereas Qt is a complete system programming toolkit. The entire KDE ecosystem is built on top of Qt functionality, moving to GTK would require not just a rewrite but probably a redesign. Also, since GTK could be called GNOME Toolkit nowadays I'm not so sure that KDE would be much better off.
I don't use KDE Plasma now, but I use some KDE apps as my preference in some areas. I use Krita as my main app for image manipulation and Kdenlive as my video editor. I think I could change Kdenlive for another app like Shotcut, but GIMP is in my experience much less powerful than Krita. K3B is another app I couldn't replace for another GTK based.

KDE has never floated my boat, however I do like Calibre, KeepassXC, OBS, Virtualbox, VLC, ocenaudio, and x2go (all of which use Qt). I'll be watching what those projects do in reaction to all this. That's as far as I'm concerned.
BTW: great command in debian, to check which packages you have installed, which rely upon some Qt5-related library package:
Code:aptitude why <some_qt_library_package>
