I just wish that the code for apps could be sufficiently segregated from the base logic.
it would be really cool if there could be a Qt version of GIMP, and Inkscape, or a GTK version of Krita for example.
Sometimes you are on a exclusively Qt or GTK Shell and the program that does the best job is opposite to the default toolkit.
It feels like in 20 years we are pretty much in the same situation with no mitigation, and for those of you annoyed at the suggestion -- I'll throw in Electron as a "hate" diversion lol.

In fact, at least on Debian, it's fairly easy to use the GTK 4 version or the Qt 6 version of LibreOffice. For all I know, neither is the default yet and that will be for a good reason. And yes, at a first glance the GTK 4 version had a small bug the Qt 6 version didn't have, as the theming of the tool bars was a bit off. But that hardly qualifies as a reason for or against GTK 4. Other than that, the progress since the last time I tested this, roughly a year ago, is quite large. Of course back then there wasn't a Qt 6 version available yet, so I can only compare the GTK version. But there's just nothing supporting your rants.
Then post claims. There is no serious productive software on gtk4. Just gnome toys. Which is developed ugly way - I want something differewnt in y stupid button - ok, I will change gtk4 api.

GTK4 seems to work just fine for me.
If you have a popup window or dialog with a form, you can roll a dice whether the confirmation / cancel buttons are at the top or the bottom and in which order. Inkscape acknowledges that 99.999% of people fill forms from top to bottom and places those buttons at the bottom. Meanwhile GIMP (3 beta) decided for the maniac way of GNOME. Compare the "New Document" dialogs of them. It is very obvious there.
And the file picker is a pure humiliation ritual. I can write an essay about the filepicker alone, if you want to read that.

You can even build libreoffice with gtk4 UI.

So is WebKit (used by epiphany among others). And even gnome-builder, an IDE, got ported.

Bug Description gnome-disk-utility 40.0 shows double window controls: the actual window controls and a duplicate within the application. There is also a black border on the right/bottom. The latest...
I won't repeat my arguments about CSD being generally anti-pattern, which breaks the behavior of window managers and their visual appearance.
