Hey, no reason to worry!
I think, despite all discussions, it´s a very good idea to create a
good GUI after all. Regardless, if it uses Qt, GTK, Motif or whatever.
It was just a suggestion to use a higher level API to calm things down
but I think if you know about Qt you should just use it! And IMHO a
dependency on a library is OK - as far as it doesn´t mean I have to
install and use the whole KDE! ;-)
So, please go on with your work. There´s really need for it!
