I know most will disagree with this, but since no one will read it anyway whatever, but the ideological purity tests relating to licensing is what has held open source back the most. It provided ammunition for the enemies of open source, such as Microsoft, and allowed them to run a very successful propagandistic campaign against it. As for Qt versus GTK, even as a KDE user, I still write GUI apps using GTK because I generally avoid C++. Not that I can't use it, but rather that I don't want to. A lot of the newer features, things added in C++17 and beyond, are features I definitely want in a programming language, but not the way they're implemented in C++. I love C, and use it for nearly every personal project, but eventually I'm hoping to move to my own language. I just need to acquire more free time to work on it.
