The Haiku alpha is barely out the door, and we already have another important news item about the open source reimplementation of the BeOS. About 18 months ago, Evgeny Abdraimov started porting the Qt4 graphical toolkit to Haiku, and now, we ave some seriously epic screenshots showing a multitude of Qt4 applications running in Haiku, as well as a developer preview release.

I can understand how one can fear that this could impact the development of native applications, but I think this does more good than bad for Haiku. More applications for Haiku makes it more attractive to users - and with it, more attractive to developers who then hopefully will dive into Haiku's code and help with fixing and developing.
I guess now I have to port wxWidgets to restore the balance of power ;-)
