I would tend to agree with you that WxWindows is a good program
platform to work with. However, QT has multiple advantages over this
platform and GTK's as well.
First, QT runs on many platforms, including Linux, Windows, Solaris,
HP-UX, Irix, AIX, and the OS X to name a few. It also has a nice
optional open source license. You can statically link an application
with it, Opera for Linux is the biggest example. It has an excellent
open source tool in KDevelop (http://www.kdevelop.org/) and a form
designer tool (http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/tools.html). Not
to mention multiple modules for database, XML, and table
manipulation. Plus, the libraries come standard with every major
Linux vendor which gives it a massive base of possible users.
