Did you catch the Dr.Dobbs Journal that critiqued alot of GUI libraries,
including Qt and GTK.
"YAPP: Yet Another Programming Platform" by Al Stevens, DDJ #329, Oct
2001? 

It shook the safe choice of KDE/Qt abit under me, and reinforced several
of my "grudges" against Qt. (MOC, need I say more?) 

Oh, for the record, I'm a KDE-user too, but perhaps more because I like
to think of it as the "Kent Dahl Environment" rather than the "K Desktop
Environment". 8^)
