[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS-user] v.coordinate.sh - improve this script?

[G. Allegri]

Eh, maybe I was misundertsood. I didn't mean to consider the hypothesis to
move to QT. I was asking, as Luca, about the reasons of the choice. I'm not
a programmer too, so it's better to me (as many of us) to use an easier
development framework like wxPython then QT.
I just noted that it could have been a chance to develop both QGis and Grass
on the same GUI environment. It hasn't been so, and that's ok. I also would
have vote for wxPython two years ago! :-)
