Zrythm is an interesting open-source digital audio workstation (DAW) software package. It’s been making use of the GTK toolkit but now the developers have decided to switch to Qt6 instead.

    They are C++ already. If they deigned the application well, a UI toolkit change should not be too bad. Not trivial but manageable.

    I always hate to see apps move off GTK but their first point is about cross-platform and there is just no denying that Qt has a vastly better cross-platform story than GTK does.
