I didn't know that there are more qt-based programs than gtk-based. 
I've always thought it was the opposite, since GTK is c-based and more
easily ported to various unix platforms.

QT is C++, GTK is based on C.  QT has nice syntactic sugar that makes
things appear easier at first.  GTK is just as nice in my opinion, but
if you want to use C++ as your language, you can check out the C++
version of gtk, called GTK-- (at http://gtkmm.sourceforge.net).  The
downside of GTK-- compared to QT is that there aren't any real good RAD
tools for it, other than glade, which is actually the best tool to use,
once you understand how it works.  QT comes with qtdesigner.
