https://lwn.net/Articles/607563/ ("Shifting toward Qt") focuses only on
GTK+ and Qt, rather than the other alternatives suggested in this bug,
but between them concludes that:

"Nonetheless, it appears that, for the most part, there is growing
technical frustration in the broader open-source community with GTK+; Qt
seems to be gaining at least in part at GTK+'s expense. Portability,
ease of development and reduced concerns about ABI breakage are some of
the technical reasons expressed by many developers for choosing Qt over
GTK+. It is far too soon to proclaim that Qt has achieved any sort of
victory over GTK+, but Qt does appear to have the wind at its back at
the moment."

Title:
  Moving away from Win API to Multiplatform

Status in DC++:
  New

Bug description:
  Isnt it time to move away from Win API to multi-platform so every
  platform can enjoy the vanilla client without using mods.

  Currently im running DC++ under Wine and there are alot of missing
  features under Wine since they are windows specific and not working
  proper under Wine and that got me thinking why..

  More and more are moving away from Windows these days since the
  introduction of Windows 8 to other platforms and the development of
  LinuxDC++ seems really low more dead to be fair so why not fill the
  void with small steps towards true multi-platform.

  and without starting to talk about what windows manager to use etc im
  more or less talking about core features but if i can suggest
  something that seems ok, its QT5 i truly hope this feature request at
  least gets some proper consideration and discussion at the top level.
