is that Kylix is indeed cool, but it definitely has not
caught on with Linux audio application developers. Frankly, I'd consider
learning more about programming Qt instead.
IMHO, the question to ask is: how well does it support
Model-View-Controller programming? if it doesn't do it well, then its
a poor choice for anything except tiny applications (see my LAD/ZKM
talk about "10 things you may not have thought about ..."). my
impression is that GUI toolkits derived from the windows world do a
fairly poor job of this, and that RAD tools make it even more
difficult.
When I was listening to your talk and about the MVC part I was pretty
surprised since it was one of the first things I learned when reading about
Qt/KDE programming. I was under the impression, that everyone would be using
it...
Actually Qt supports it very well especially with the signals and slots
mechanism which makes it a lot easier to make objects interact.
And btw, Qt was started to create a good toolkit for UNIX which would make
porting to Windows easy.
