One of the things that makes me seriously consider QT is Telegram. It is written in QT and in my opinion is one of the best examples of a cross-platform messaging app that Just Works(TM). Especially when one considers the horrible alternatives (looking at you, WhatsApp).
- Linux and Windows clients work smoothly OOTB. No UI lag/jitter. No RAM/CPU hogging.
- Drag and drop works. Floating video playback works. Background audio playback works. Minimize to tray, basic Markdown formatting, preview links, mp4 playback as gif, they all work flawlessly.
I don't even remember if I could throw something at it in a way that it would hang. I don't know how they did it, comprehensive unit-tests or good architecture design, but it sure is a breath of fresh air in this day and age which Electron monsters have set the bar too low that normal users don't remember the latency/resposive-ness of the 90s and 2000s software.
Any experienced QT devs can point us where to start learning QT? Good books/tutorials/blogs? I have some JavaFX experience...
