Hi; I examined Deepin projects from Github. I saw in general Deepin projects were developed with Qt. But Deepin Window Manager and Deepin Terminal were developed with Gtk. I am wondering why some Deepin projects were developed with Gtk while Deepin projects were developed with Qt in general? Thanks.

Then I was wrong. According to 3#.
(Wrong) I'm not a contributor of Deepin project, but as far as I know about Deepin, Deepin DE is actually a modified Gnome DE (maybe it's wrong?). Gnome was developed in GTK, which means it will be better to develop System-Apps (like Window Managers, Terminal Emulators, etc.) in GTK. As for other applications, it doesn't matter in which platform they were developed.

Deepin DE is actually developed by Qt/C++, see:

Glad to hear!
Heard a few times that gtk is a pretty mess. Guess qt's superiour regarding development which might have an impact on software quality.
