Can't see your point, these are web browser applications, so obviously they have a browser engine built-in. > documentation. Qt assistant uses QtWebkit. Ms uses Trident in many places > (Visual studio,..) So you say it's worth 20MB and all the security risks just to display help text? IMO this is totally wrong, even in MSVS. Last time MS tried to integrate their browser into anything more widely used, they got a large lawsuit as a result. So now they only use it in such niche tools like dev IDE. Besides the lawsuit, it's an ill idea from a technical POV also. > As I said, the trend is in replacement of UI with browser based UI. > Many of web based UI toolkits are IMHO even more advanced and have To me the direction rather looks like moving applications inside the browser, rather than moving the browser inside applications. > more controls than "standard" toolkits. > For example : http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/demobrowser/ So now that we have a half-developed and not very well tested GUI, we should start to develop a client-side-only GUI based on html? IMO the concept is wrong and the execution is wrong as well. Or as the saying goes: 'All application gets "developed" until the point they have an integrated e-mail client'? (or a web browser, or feed-reader). Perfect recipe for bloatware. Guys, please move out QT from our repository and fulfill these dreams, for Harbour Project it's much off topic.
