You make this sound like there was an availability problem for Qt 4. In fact, Qt 4 is 'more' available as e.g. on Windows as there's an official GPL'ed version and it is closer to Standard C++ than 3 (pretty close actually when configured correctly). > As for technical problems, I > would be surprised to hear that qt4 has less quirks then qt3. Qt 4 has a much cleaner, rather minimalistic interface as opposed to the ad-hoc collection of convenience functions that constitutes Qt 3, Qt 4 most notably has a clear model-view separation from 'obvious' cases as treeviews down to less obvious ones like comboboxes. That basically means that code can go where it belongs whereas in Qt 3 you have only monolithic widgets and you've to make your mind up whether to prefer pest or cholera. You are pretty close to spreading FUD here. > Andre> And you'll get better support from TT for 4 than for 3. > > Huh? I thought TT policy was "not a client? No support!" Interesting point that I can't check because they seemingly consider me a client. I usually get responses within a day when I use the official support channel and sometimes the customary open-source-style less-than-an-hour round-trip when adressing the right people directly.
