SwiftUI Is Convenient, but Slow

What are your favorite parts of gtk+? I'm working on my own UI framework and trying to borrow myfavorite parts of the lot of them. Gtk+4 seems to have some decent stuff, but I've only dabbled with it and worked more with old school QT. I always liked the signals a / slots myself.

GObject signals and properties are very powerful. The layouting model is sane. In general, the toolkit is very regular.

It's hard to just give you a generic answer. I can only really compare to Win32, Cocoa, and some parts of the web stack.

Thanks, that tells me a bit. Signals are my favorite way to do reactivity. I'll have to checkout gtk's properties.
