I write C++, but I don’t like it. I don’t think any one should be claiming Linus doesn’t like it because he doesn’t know it. If he wants to contribute to this project, it must be C++.

I didn’t think anyone was making that claim? Either way I’m certainly not trying to.

Yes, this is true, it’s just that he was also included in the decision making process to switch to it in the first place, and I feel like his continued use of it makes me think it doesn’t have to be as awful as everyone makes it out to be, or he wouldn’t use it at all.
It was originally Gtk and they rewrote it with Qt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGZyVSOnqm0

Ask him. It’s not like he has publically changed his mind. I think he just went with other developers he had handed the project to.
