The only platform I have that Quicktime has been ported to is Windows XP, and my experience with Windows-based Quicktime is that it's very slow, a memory-hog, too buggy, full of advertisements for other Apple products (I hear it's got much worse after iTunes and the iProduct revolution), and I don't get the same quality as with other file formats the same size. One of the last crashes I had with Windows was the boot after I installed Quicktime; I uninstalled it in Safe Mode, and my computer booted again.
I'm told it's none of these things on a Mac. Too bad my only Mac is a SE/30...
