I am an avid Gnome user, and have done much cross-platform development using Gtk+ and the GtkmmC++ bindings; however, now that Qt 4.5 is going LGPL, is there a reason to not port GnomeLibs over to Qt for Gnome 3.0?
I am not suggesting the demise of Gnome. Gnome 3 was to break API/ABI compatibility with Gnome 2.x, so now would be a good time to discuss the feasibility of porting GnomeLibs to Qt for Gnome 3. The biggest barrier I see is Qt is based upon C++ and Gtk is C; however, this does not have to be an insurmountable problem. I'm curious to know what others think.
