> Audacity seemed like the obvious choice

Tangential question, but why did Audacity seem like the obvious choice? Not a knock on the product - I use it often - but I'm just curious about why it was chosen.

[samwillis]

Audacity is one of the largest (if not the largest?) still active projects using wxWidgets, it seems like fairly obvious if you are somewhat aware of that.

Why did wxWidgets fell out of favor?

[samwillis]

I don't think it did, the world just moved to mobile and web based apps, then backward towards the desktop with Electron.

I would say wxWidget and QT are probably still the most used cross platform desktop GUI toolkits.

I think there were some problems with wxWidgets and generally people moved to Qt, if they were still making cross-platform desktop apps, and if they haven’t migrated to Electron.

[ekianjo]

Not used much anywhere.

It's probably the most visible project using the wxWidgets framework and in the audio domain which fits well with my experience building the DJ app.
