  • I was joking. Qt has its place and can be useful. But I believe the days of non-web based, rich clients is over. Because Qt is not really “platform independent” anymore. When Qt was invented, only GNU/Linux, OSX and Windows existed. Now we have mobile phones, tablets, ultrabooks/chromebooks, much more powerful browsers, smart watches. That’s why Qt is not something I would prefer, as I need my apps to run literally everywhere




  • Yes, this is in fact true. However, after Portal 2, they kept on working on the engine for CS:GO, Alyx and CS2. That’s why those engines are a bit more modern and add new visual effects and also a lot of new capabilities. They all share “Source 2” as foundation, but I believe each of those games has added enhancements for their use cases. This mod now uses the newest engine of CS2 for Portal 2, which is a jump from 2011 to 2023.
