i don't care about industry. they have money, they can hire and pay as many developers as they want/need.
once in a time people had the idea to be able to make use out of computers without needing those big companies to support them.
to me it seems qt is only taking care of how to best adjust to the needs of even those companies!
i had a long'ish text here trying to explain my point. i decided not to post it because it would get way too long to explain everything.
just some simple keywords:
gtk: opensource!, c-api, glade (did overcome code generation), xml-ui spec files, gobject / glib, gtkmm c++ wrapper, themes//theme-engines, event-loops, very nice handwritten gtk2 pygtk wrapper, gtk3, gobject INTROSPECTION, pango&cario integration
qt: trolltech, nokia, microsoft..., e, CODE GENERATION SIGNAL SLOT CRAP!, trying to make money!, no c-api !?, a bloated API of operating system abstractions --- in a gui toolkit? really? all those socket, filesystem.... crap, it has qmake? don't we have the autotools? and who is too stupid to write a 4-lines makefile to compile a simple 1 or 2 files gui app?
