Not to start an argument, but if I show my clients a UI I can create using 
.NET and one of the many libraries from Telerik/Dev Express/Infragistics, 
etc. vs. what I can build in Qt off the shelf or with the aforementioned 
widget libs from KDAB, etc, I mean... there is no comparison.  Qt is butt 
ugly compared to to the .NET ones.  It runs faster and is cooler to develop 
in, but it is butt ugly.
