So why should we use Qt?

The electric tool builds fine with motif and is useable.

If there is no special feature exept design or having used modern libs,

I would opt against, as Qt gets new revisions and changes so the code

needs to be changed. e.g. qt4 ->qt5.

Motif is there and there is not much change so we dont have to work

on this matter.

It is about bringing functionality not design or coolness.

Cheers,

Hi
I've seen there is an option to build with Qt instead of the pretty oldschool
TK library.
Since the modern version of Qt makes things compile kindof portable (Qt also
builds on Windows), it would actually be a neat idea to make it use Qt as the
standard lib on Linux as well.
