Qt vs. GTK: VLC and KMPlayer
I’ve mentioned a couple of times that, at least in my opinion, KDE is losing out to GNOME because there simply aren’t as many Qt applications as GTK ones. Competition breeds quality, and as a result, I find Qt applications in general to be inferior.
This is the third in a series of articles comparing different kind of applications. It will be the shortest so far, simply because I succeeded for the first time in finding a choice of Qt applications that are on par with their GTK counterparts.
The first one I tried was VLC, which isn’t only open source but also provides Windows and Mac OS X binaries. It looks good, it has a loooong list of features, but I couldn’t figure out how to make the Firefox plugin work (apparently there is one). No harm done, since Mplayer does the same things VLC does and has a well-tested browser-plugin.
