I've used Qt for several projects in the past, but with this latest news I'm looking at GTK seriously now.

Why would you say GTK isn't a good option for non-Linux use? And would you say that it is a good option for Linux?

You need something like MSYS2 to even use GTK on Windows, and I've looked at what it takes to package and distribute GTK applications to Windows users without MSYS2, and it's headache inducing.

When it comes to Linux, it's pretty good. Getting its GObject Introspection dependencies compiled is another story, though. I've always had to rely on my distribution's package manager to install them.
