Well, then "Be Careful the Fights You Pick". I am using gtk+ through its
Perl bindings only because there were no good Qt ones at the moment. And
probably there are still no good ones.

To me it appears that Qt is slowly becoming dominant, and it's good there
is a big commercial entity behind it.

KDE4 seems to improve, doesn't it ? I am not yet using it, so have no
personal experience/opinion - still on KDE3.
