It's been pretty important in shaping my opinion, that. Say what you like about kde/qt, but when it comes to file management in general, let alone the standard dialogs, they're years ahead - actually acknowledging the possibility that a GUI user may use a keyboard to drive things, may want to type in the path themselves including filters, find as they type, and so on.
I agree. the kde widget set has always been streets ahead of gtk in terms both of appearance and functionality. But no way am I going over to C++ just to use it.
Interesting - I've never liked the look of Qt - and I still don't! I do understand that it is nice from a coding point of view, though (so someone told me, once upon a time, so they could have been talking crap ;)
That just shows how much it is all about personal preferences. I really dislike the look of gtk widget set but like the fact that gtk is coded in C. I really like the look of the Qt widget set but cannot stand C++. So whatever set I chose was going to be a compromise. Eventually my didslike of C++ outweighed my dislke of the gtk widget set (and there were moves afoot to make it prettier) so I chose gtk. Then the ugliness of the dialog boxes and the menu system put me off again.
Now I am a happy Tcl/Tk coder ;-)
