What does /prog/ think about:

1. GTK+
2. Qt
3. wxWidgets

Qt is a sppls oriented whore. On the other hand, if you have write in sppls, Qt makes it almost usable.

3. Terrible!

Haven't used the others but I can't imagine how they could be worse than wxWidgets. My choice? Cocoa, for the low, low price of $5000.

Much better than wxWidgets, but annoyingly enterprisey.

I've used several wxWidgets apps and they're all really, really nice. Qt seems too big and GTK+ doesn't play well with Windows from what I can see (not that it's that good on Linux either - I don't like how the whole project is handled).

However, one thing I've noticed is that wxWidgets apps seem to be a bit slow to start (minimum 1 second or so), so I'd test that carefully for lightweight apps.

I really like Qt overall, although it has its fair share of bad designs and unnecessarily limited APIs. I'm also not perfectly satisfied with its documentation completeness; it seems to cover everything you need to know, but it doesn't always answer specific questions (does event X occur before or after some visible state is changed? Can I use Y safely in situation Z?), but to be honest no other extended toolkit I know does it significantly better, except maybe the java API.

I don't have experience with GTK+ or wxWidgets. I do have experience with Swing (java) however, and I'd personally and very subjectively rate Qt higher.
