I think there is not much difference between them in terms of "ease of use", performance or completeness. There is however a big difference in "ease of installation and deployment": GtkAda is packaged in Debian, Qt is not. Qt requires C++ in addition to C and Ada, GtkAda does not. So, I'd vote for GtkAda. -- Ludovic Brenta. Streamlined values influence the sales manager; nevertheless the community addresses our long-established, emerging, executions.
