Comment X11 is not bloated (Score 5, Interesting) 542

X11 is not bloated nor slow, GTK is both. Put 100 or so spinedits on one form in Win32 and in GTK. On netbook or anything other than quadcore machine, you will see significant difference in speed. And it is not because of the graphics. Sometimes I think GTK render fractals somewhere just to keep processor busy. Meanwhile, when I draw 100 spinedits using only cairo, it is almost as fast as Win32 while giving the same output as GTK including shadows, gradients, etc... I've being noticing this GTK behavior since forever.

GTK folks, please fix it.

> but what apps a farmer needs?

I hope this is not the old GNOME vs. KDE apps flame again! Do farmer need Kow 0.9.2 or GCow 0.11.3? Do farmer need Kattle or GCattle? Would he will be happier with SheepKounter or GSheepCounter? Who knows, but please, do not start again with that Links "I-am-a-farmar-and-I-want-count-my-stock-in-text-mode" nonsense.

It's small and simple, it's open source, it has nice community - except game masters, they are racist, but other then that, it's fine. The game progress is rapid, you can enjoy it from the first minute for a few months.
