The team is targeting May 2024, but it's going to be tough, and here is why

      why would they? gnome has primarily used gtk for a lot of time. also, what do you mean “finally”? it’s not like gtk is some kind of abandonware

        I was joking. It’s not abandonware, however it’s an atrocious development toolkit compared to Qt.

        Cause gnome has been on a steady decline ever since gnome3.

          1. Gnome is a DE, GTK is a GUI toolkit
          2. I would NOT say it has been on decline. It’s pretty good for its target. There also hasn’t been any regressions I can see except for the obvious Nautilus. (I use MATE, but mostly because of its looks)

              1. Not anymore
              2. GIMP ≠ GNOME by a fucking mile
              3. GTK isn’t from GNOME either

                What do you mean “not anymore”? You can’t rewrite history… The G in GTK comes from GIMP. It was formerly called GIMP ToolKit.

                I was replying to the comment thread suggesting they should switch to Qt.

                  Ah, well you probably should’ve replied to the root then.

                  By not anymore, I precisely mean that it’s not “GIMP ToolKit” anymore, it’s just GTK with no meaning at all.
