Nokia
will introduce Qt to the maemo platform in addition to GTK+. The first actual step will be the distribution of the Qt libraries for application development in maemo.org during 4Q2008. Nokia wants to explore cross-platform possibilities between S60 and maemo. It is interesting also to check the interest in the developer community for Qt in the tablets. This is also a way to attract more attention from the KDE community, a sensible move especially if the Trolltech acquisition gets completed.

I apologize, in advance, for my blunt answer. But in my opinion QT apps are generally crap. They look bad. Their UI is generally not well designed. QT itself does not lend itself to creating apps with good UI design. Of course, many will disagree with my opinions on this, and that is perfectly fine with me. I'm sincerely happy that people who do like QT apps have a good selection of them.
Why learn GTK+? Because (and I am intentionally avoiding words like "most" or "majority" here) a substantial portion of your potential users are like me and prefer GTK+ apps to QT apps.
