I remember reading an interview some years back with the Troll Tech developers. One of the reason they started doing Qt was because they as C++ programmers wanted a GUI library that was native C++. They where unhappy about all the other options of that time being mostly bindings to C based widgets.
<P>
If Troll Tech went for C# bindings the Qt# would be somewhat of the opposite of the idea begind Qt in the first place.
<P>And besides, why pay to do commercial development with Qt# when its free with Gtk#? The arguments used in a C++ context for why to pay wouldn't work for C# bindings.
