@movq@www.uninformativ.de Don’t you worry, this was meant as a joke. :-D
There was a time when I thought that Swing was actually really good. But having done some Qt/KDE later, I realized how much better that was. That were the late KDE 3 and early KDE 4 days, though. Not sure how it is today. But back then it felt Trolltech and the KDE folks put a hell lot more thought into their stuff. I was pleasantly surprised how natural it appeared and all the bits played together. Sure, there were the odd ends, but the overall design was a lot better in my opinion.
To be fair, I never used it from C++, always the Python bindings, which were considerably more comfortable (just alone the possibility to specify most attributes right away as kwargs in the constructor instead of calling tons of setters). And QtJambi, the Java binding, was also relatively nice. I never did a real project though, just played around with the latter.

Looks like ICE recruits are a hot mess
Lisa Needham, Staff Writer - Daily Kos
Stephan: Creating the Trump Gestapo is turning out to be harder than one might think, but one option, which Trump is playing, is just to reduce the qualifications and integrity of the people you recruit, as this article describes. Of course, it helps to have a corrupt Gestapo leader, say someone like Tom Homan.
