Hello everyone! I've been playing around with Wayland for a bit and was hoping to start learning some more about it. For example, I would be interested in making a lock screen, similar to Swaylock, as a toy project.

What GUI toolkit would you use to develop apps on Wayland? I've added a little poll below with some of the popular choices I've seen thrown around. Feel free to add your own suggestions and maybe leave a comment as to why you'd use that!

Qt by a country mile. Wayland is just another backend, and you won't notice a difference between targeting Wayland and any other platform -- unless you're doing platform specific things in your app (like tray icons, but even then...)
