Here, I can't switch to Qt 5 yet, since that results in my applications 
looking non-native on KDE (since KDE is based on Qt 4.)  This is a big 
no-no for me.

Another deal breaker for me is that Qt 5 seems to have non-native font 
rendering in Linux.  Fonts look washed out with lots of gray in them, 
compared to the nice, fat black fonts of every other Qt4 and Gtk 
application.  This results in Qt 5 apps looking like the odd man out. 
Also, rendering of PCF fonts is completely broken and pixel garbage is 
rendered around the glyphs.

These are Linux issues though.  If you're not interested in Linux, these 
things won't affect you.
