> everyone wants FREE and GREAT and also calls the company management bad names?

These two are not mutually exclusive, one can want a good FLOSS library and at the same time dislike the tactics of company that is currently developing said FLOSS library.

They are free to contribute into making wxWidgets great again, or whatever fits their liking.

Sure and i'd rather see people contribute more to wxWidgets as i prefer it to Qt myself (in that if i really had to choose between the two i'd go with wx), but that is not really relevant in the topic of criticizing the Qt Company's practices.

It actually is, because it proves that having a top notch GUI framework doesn't come for free.

It absolutely can - the company I've worked for has released top notch native GUI frameworks for free. Stating otherwise is simply ludicrous.

I welcome you to allow us to judge if they are really top notch.
