The KDE team has released KDE 4.3. This release comes packed with improvements and bug fixes - in fact, over the last six months, 10000 bugs were squashed, 2000 feature requests handled, and 63000 changes were checked in by 700 people. We've already talked about this new release in quite some detail last week, but let's take a look at the most important new features anyway.

That doesn't mean many people don't describe large parts of GTK as a 'steaming pile of shit' and similar things
And that doesn't mean that other developers think the contrary and they use it, your bitterness and ignorance towards GTK put in evidense to you and to the project you are representing.

Agreed, I was a bit fed up with the heat and some other comments over here. Despite that, I think you'd have a hard time finding serious developers (who dont' care about the C vs C++ thing) who prefer GTK over Qt.
Sure, a few purists, and we've got plenty of those. But that's always going to be a 1% minority...
Anyway. Who cares what's better or worse. That wasn't the topic at all.

I was of course way over the top, it's more like 5 years. And even then some parts of GTK (examples being Cairo and Clutter) are more or less on equal foot with the other toolkits. That doesn't mean many people don't describe large parts of GTK as a 'steaming pile of shit' and similar things. I haven't had a close look myself but I guess the vast majority of developers I speak with (both Qt and GTK and independent devs) is probably right.
(ok, the windows toolkit is, afaik, in most area's, Qt-5 as well. Mac is, from what I understand from ppl who seem to know it, about equal - but different of course.)
