They at last added the LGPL option after 12 years?, If was in that time Linux GUI could be right now awesome and the only one, In that time I would drooped MFC, WIN32 and not enter with .Net. and use Qt. But right now I think is little late. There is already RIA, Web, JavaFX, Silverlight, Virtual Machines etc etc, for what we still need a desktop c++ toolkit? Ah and Linux a lot of standard software runs with GTK behind.
It is awesome news at last they did it but I think is to late, nobody cares.

I prefer wxWidgets.

TOAD is using Qt, if I remember correctly - there's some weird artifacts in the text rendering (quite ugly for a professional GUI toolkit).
Motion Control replied ago:
TOAD's fault of Qt's fault? I guess the former.

I prefer GTK+ but it's great to see this happen. Kudos to Nokia. More competition is always good in the open source ecosystem.

Does this mean we'll finally see an Eclipse SWT that wraps QT? That would be very cool.
