sigc++2 is
just 100% pure C++ software engineering joy. sigc++ is
entirely independent of any graphical toolkit - you can use it
non-graphical applications as well.
Same with Qt. It doesn't have to be graphical. Having used both GTK and Qt I have to say that Qt
is IMHO a much
more polished and mature package. I have yet to run into anything that
wasn't already anticipated by the Qt developers - QProcess, QPrinter,
QSocket, QFtp, QHttp, QBrowser... The one thing that annoys me about
i completely agree with you. and my agreement is part of the reason
why i wouldn't want to use Qt. i don't believe that the list of
features you've just mentioned should be in a drawing toolkit - i'd
rather have a really great drawing toolkit *plus* another library (or
more than one) with support for these other cool (and useful)
things. your mileage may vary, of course.
i think that the decision to use Qt is a perfectly sensible one for a
lot of people - its just not the one i'd make.
