Is Qt evil?
 

Hi, firstly i haven´t many skills with qt development. I don´t understand one thing. Qt is very easy to use and It has a high level of compatibility. In my opinion it means tons of code and slack. Am I right?

Re: Is Qt evil?
 

Your choice. Write the tons of code and slack yourself or use what someone else wrote. I prefer the second option.

Shouldn't there be a poll in this thread! :D

Qt means rapid application dev for people with skills in several languages but perhaps not so much skill in GUI programming.

It means multiple platform compatibility with little or no effort

It is not evil.

On a personal note - I deal with enough aggravation in my day to day code, its kind of nice to have agro free time when dealing with Qt.

@Figa: We are at difficult times. I Think that if you look around to almost every modern development environment, we can see a bunch of very bloated frameworks.

.net framework, java, python.

there is no easy way to compare two frameworks side-by-side.

you know, YMMV.

"This is very easy to use, I'm being productive and it is widely used so there must be something wrong with it. It has to be bloated and evil so I better start writing my own "lightweight and elegant" alternative, but at least it's not bloated until it becomes actually useful."

Sorry, couldn't help trolling a bit. :)

Because writing your own graphics, gui, rendering, animation, networking et al library yourself to get a basic app working is the definition of insanity.

This topic just reminds me of the (old) incredible fun game: "Serious Sam: the first encounter"! :D
