Inkscape Moves to GitLab

If Wireshark is any example, definitely not. I've not met anyone that likes the Qt version (in VoIP, it's an indispensable tool used all the time) - it seems like it lost a ton of polish.

This is somewhat off-topic, but I'm curious since every person who has had this sentiment that I've known was unable to provide specific parts which were lacking. Do you perhaps have a short list of top things which are missing their polish with the Qt version of Wireshark?

I'm just a light user of the tool and am genuinely curious about what things it may have lost in the transition.

I’m I using it for debugging barcode scanners talking to a web service. I much prefer the qt based UI. It’s much faster and obviously feels much more native to the platform

For a specific platform, or multiple?

The Qt version is miles ahead on OSX since it's no longer a clunky X11 app.

Qt works much better than GTK+ on both Windows and macOS. Unlike GTK+, it’s much harder to distinguish a Qt app and a native app for those platforms.
