Zrythm is an interesting open-source digital audio workstation (DAW) software package. It’s been making use of the GTK toolkit but now the developers have decided to switch to Qt6 instead.

Switching the UI framework sounds like a massive refactor.
Qt is by far the better framework. This could also be a chance to implement a super UI/UX, it could also be a complexity hell. I will have a look at the project, let’s see if the outcome wil be a better product.
Not on Sway, every Qt app i’ve used feels like it tries to put in every option and dialogs always look too busy, GTK is quite abstractive and opinionated but i’ll deal with that
Apps looking odd or not is the job of the main drawing framework.
Qt themes are able to draw GTK but GTK can not draw Qt actually proves my point.
That likely has more to do with the culture of KDE vs GNOME. You can make pretty much the same UI with either toolkit.
