In-reply-to » When will the flat UI craze end? Can I get my buttons, scrollbars, and toolbars back, please?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, most of the graphical applications are actually KDE programs:

  • KMail – e-mail client
  • Okular – PDF viewer
  • Gwenview – image viewer
  • Dolphin – file browser
  • KWallet – password manager (I want to check out pass one day. The most annoying thing is that when I copy a password, it says that the password has been modified and asks me whether I want to save the changes. I never do, because the password is still the same. I don’t get it.)
  • KPatience – card game
  • Kdenlive – video editor
  • Kleopatra – certificate manager

Qt:

  • VLC – video player
  • Psi – Jabber client (I happily used Kopete in the past, but that is not supported anymore or so. I don’t remember.)
  • sqlitebrowser – SQLite browser

Gtk:

  • Firefox – web browser
  • Quod Libet – music player (I should look for a better alternative. Can’t remember why I had to move away from Amarok, was it dead? There was a fork Clementine or so, but I had to drop that for some unknown reason, too.)
  • Audacity – audio editor
  • GIMP – image editor

These are the things that are open right now or that I could think of. Most other stuff I actually do in the terminal.

In the past™, I used the Python KDE4 bindings. That was really nice. I could pass most stuff directly in the constructor and didn’t have to call gazillions of setters improving the experience significantly. If I ever wanted to do GUI programming again, I’d definitely go that route. There are also great Qt bindings for Python if one wanted to avoid the KDE stuff on top. The vast majority I do for myself, though, is either CLI or maybe TUI. A few web shit things, but no GUIs anymore. :-)
