Hi Stefan,
I like GTK on my desktop too, but considering the portability between
different platforms, I think Qt has far better support for windows then
GTK. Although it is possible to cross compile gtk applications on windows,
there are A LOT of bugs. I actually did it once when I tried to compile
another project of mine(Gummi LaTeX Editor) to Windows, its just ...bah.
I'll definitely checkout your pcb routing application. I already see that
it's written in GTK3 :P
Also about the Geber support: It's already in my roadmap, and I think it
would be quite easy considering gerber's format is much simpler than ODB++.
I'll start implement it if I have time.
Best,
Wei-Ning
