Message: <blockquote data-quote="KaiRu" data-source="post: 55315" data-attributes="member: 5793">Yep, agree about this - I thought you were talking about another level of abstraction.Lets look at XLib as example of well established API in the Linux world - we have XLib and on top of it we have QT, GTK, Motif etc.Lets look at GDI+ as counterpart of XLib from the Windows world - we have GDI+ and top of it we have MFC, WinApi and WinForms with WPF.How does it come that the first case is considered as a well-established API and modular architecture with a good level of abstraction(I don't object this description but agree with it) and at the same time on another side the same situation (with different names though) is considered as "I'd say all of this functionality get completely overhauled by each new Windows programming API." (c) ? Since when GTK is overhauled by QT or vice versa?</blockquote>
