[Note that this does not include most "enterprise" software development, which is typically for internal use only. In this case, they can simply use the Free Edition of Qt. As long as they never distribute the code, they don't have to abide by the GPL.]
most enterprises outsource dev work to 3rd party software companies - software is perhaps 'internal' to the enterprise, but my understanding of the Qt licensing would indicate that this is commercial development - i.e. you can't use the free edition, you have to buy the commercial edition.
one disadvantage of any sort of licensing issue is the administration of the licences - i.e. you've got to audit that you have the right number of licences or face potential fines etc, there's also the lag time, add a developer to a project and wait a few weeks for the licence purchase order to go through...

QT's licencing is a big no-no as far as I am concerned...
There are millions of bespoke apps businesses rely on out there, it's these apps that will be crucial for most companies when deciding to go Win -> Lin.
The os/server software/office suite (i.e. the infrastructure) etc. is all fine when licenced under GPL (or similar) but when it comes to these bespoke apps they 'have' to be closed source - they encapsulate business processes and business decisions etc. - of course framework code could be LGPL and CRM systems like Compiere are potentially useful frontends to these bespoke systems... but for the most part these sort of systems are best closed source and probably would be of little benefit being open source since they solve a very specific problem domain...
The QT commercial licence is pretty expensive - comparable to the whole MSDN Universal IIRC (of course most of the other tools are free...)
KDE is a good 'major version' ahead of Gnome - I still use Gnome at home and plan on moving towards bespoke app development with Gnome.

having worked on numerous MS based projects where we've come across problems which did not appear to be due to our code, picking up the phone - quoting some 'contract number' (can't remember what it's called) - explaining issue - sending sample code - speaking to the guy in charge of that area of code - getting a tested patch some weeks later... no charge if it was an MS bug...

As long as we're wishing, I wish redhat would let people run their own up2date servers. I don't know of a way to do that. I would much prefer to keep a local repository of updates and let my machines log into that with the up2date stuff.
I agree completely, this is the reason that I, as a commercial app developer, have just switched from KDE to Gnome, even though KDE is better at the moment!
The QT licence cost is not that excessive considering other development costs (staff, testing etc), but other licencing issues can be a pain on any development team - new people joining/people leaving etc - the LGPL licence takes a lot of hassle out of the equation. (I'm mostly thinking in terms of developing bespoke business apps that can never have an OS counterpart as they are tightly coupled to a business process.)
how much testing goes into this sort of thing. I mean the XFree team do their testing - but have the people who have produced the 'packages' for the distros tested that it doesn't break anything ?
sounds like they didn't get enough of the story told in ep1 and ep2, with ep4 a known entity they were either going to have a really long and sprawling ep3 or miss a huge amount of what happened between ep2 and ep3 or ep3 and ep4....

"If we say it's absolutely wrong for MS to include Media Player with Windows, we're also saying that Apple is wrong to include iTunes and Quicktime, "
when you buy Apple, you buy a product which consists of hardware+OS+software... Microsoft only sells the OS - thats a big difference..
