Originally posted by mhall119 View PostThe problem was that the our developers knew QML, but not much C++, and the Qt4/Qt5 UI were build in C++, so they couldn't do the work on the other UIs that was needed to make them work. And, appropriately, upstream wasn't going to land patches for the Ubuntu UI if they broke the Qt UIs. So we were at an impasse. The developers of the Ubuntu front-end started accumulating patches that worked for the Ubuntu UI but couldn't land in upstream without work done on the other UIs. Eventually they started releasing their patched version under the name Dekko, to make it available to users. Finally, after quite bit of discussion with the upstream project, they decided that the impasse wasn't going to be resolved any time soon, so the split was made official. Importantly, though, at no point were any of these decisions made by Canonical.
