    I hate the one for Windows. The one for Linux seems to act sane enough.

    I'm not sure why they decided to go for QT, and I don't like the two-window system (it's dumb for GIMP, it's dumb here), but otherwise it's solid. Doesn't crash, so that's a bonus.

    9.x >>>>> 8.x ...They even added the "Disable Multiple Instances" ...I had to use a home made script for doing that in 8.x ...Plus Using Qt it is far more customizable ...

    I like it! I just wish it didn't run when I try to open the $home folder... instead of the folder opening

    No volume control? What VLC are you using? They even made a custom QT widget for it (which is enabled by default).

    yeah, all of these bugs fixed (http://wiki.videolan.org/Next_change....8.6_and_0.9.0) don't matter at all.

    install qgtkstyle if you would like it to look better.

    the two window system is a bug. Its supposed to be attacked to the same window as the controls

    wxWidgets sucks hard. The only (competitive) alternatives are Qt and GTK+, while GTK+ is a good toolkit it stands out like a sore thumb on non-native platforms, the reliabity of different ports is inconsisent, etc.
