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.<br>
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! :-)<br><br>Giovanni<br>

<div style="">Another reason beyond the one that I mentioned to Luca is that we went through many potential interface development languages 2 years ago, decided on wxPython, and the wxPython is now almost complete. It would be an enormous time sink to do this all over again.<div>

My impression is that wxWindow is a bit easier to manage then QT, but since many of us write scripts for QGis too, it would be better to learn well one system (QT) then two (QT and wxWindow) :-)<br><br>Anyway, I'm sure you have good reasons for having chosen wxWindow fro Grass. <br>
