A few weeks ago, Ars published part one in a series called "From Win32 to Cocoa: a Windows user's conversion to Mac OS X". In this series, Peter Bright details why he believes "Windows is dying, Windows applications suck, and Microsoft is too blinkered to fix any of it". Part one dealt with the history of both Windows and the Mac OS, and part two deals with .Net, the different types of programmers, and Windows Vista.

It's actually a very good answer, since the add-on functionality you usually want to use from KDE resides in the libraries. And KDE libraries has always been LGPL or BDS licensed, making it unnecessary to open source applications using it. Making KDE a very good alternative.
However there already are several high quality extentions for Qt. They even used to be listed and linked from the Trolltech site, but it seem they have updated their website since last time I looked and I'm unable to find the page now.
Anyway one of the extentions, that has existed nearly forever(since the days of Qt 1) are Qwt.
http://qwt.sourceforge.net/index.html
From that page there are links to a few more:
http://qwtpolar.sourceforge.net/
http://qwtplot3d.sourceforge.net/
And you can look at the qt-apps site, there is a growing collection there:
