Well no, because Swing and SWT can't cut it. You'll find very few Java client apps in companies now, and even less talk about them. They have their place, but having a sane development toolkit allied to a language that has a lot of traction in the corporate world (rightly or wrongly) is a big plus. I think Trolltech have hugely underestimated this. If they can bring their excellent development technology to the Java world (client and server side) they've got a whole market they didn't have before.
You might think it changes nothing, but for Trolltech and Qt it does.
Thank you! Finally someone realizes it... the aforementioned ideas that apparently nullify Trolltech's technology all are missing something. Gtk is, unfortunately, less mature on Windows. Likewise, SWT just doesn't completely match the look-and-feel of a Gtk/Gnome desktop.
Everyone already knows that Qt is great as a cross-platform toolkit- if they can appeal to some of the newer developers that are unfamiliar with unmanaged code, they might be in luck.
