Ironic that you ask me to give arguments, when that's what I was asking the OP to do.


That's not ironic, I wanted to know why you were calling people sycophants, without any valid reasons, and I still don't see any valid reason.
"

I gave my reason if you read carefully. If you don't accept it, then that's fine, but don't claim I didn't give it. I see your pride was hurt by the 'sycophant' comment and that is a shame, but you really shouldn't take things so personally, since it was not aimed specifically at you, but generally those that 'me too' to unsubstantiated claims. Maybe the shoe fits…

"For the record, I developed for a long time with Qt3 and 4 on five different platforms and loved it because of it's clean, consistent object model, great documentation and value of pragmatism over 'standard practice'. It also is the best C++ UI toolkit I have ever seen
I've seen a bit of the KDE libs, but not developed much with them.


If that's the case, your original response was just trolling, and I have to stop feeding trolls. Sounds like you already knew the reasons, and if that is so, modding the OP up would have been the right response.
"

Not a troll at all, but since your feelings are easily hurt, I'm sure that ridiculous label will help you in validating them.
You seemed to miss my point completely. I'm _very_ familiar with Qt, not at all well-versed with the KDE libs. I also have a lot of experience with the other platforms mentioned, I see a lot of positive aspect in .NET and Cocoa too. I wanted to know why someone thought the KDE development platform is so much better, with substantial examples or at least some explanation (which I got by-the-way. Thank you Hiev). I have every right to ask someone to explain why they think something is better.

If you consider that trolling, it's a hard world out there. I suggest you toughen up. You're going to get 'trolled' a lot.
