Good! Waiting for some wayland-specific bug fixes that should be in 5.12, e.g. fullscreen not working.

Heh, does it finally fix the "crash for no reason" issue that has plagued Qt since... Well, since the beginning. I have used either by choice or force, Qt, for decades and yet I still consider it a buggy piece of shit. Gtk was/is a terrible hack. Qt is much worse. Corporate paid-for development that sucked. I seriously would rather use MFC and I don't own one single machine that runs Windows.

My alternatives? FLTK... There is only FLTK.

What universe are you living in ? Buggy, POS -really ? That's not been my experience at all, nor has it been true for the companies I have worked for making car infotainment systems, medical devices, and scientific instruments.

Use EFL! Then you will come back to Qt and beg for the "crash for no reason"

What is the "crash for no reason" exactly? I would never blame Qt for my own buggy C++ code.

What? Someone who doesn't like Qt? Is it Opposite Day or something?

Anyway: FOX is a really good, stable cross-platform alternative.
