Since when does modern and clean equal toyish? Between "Luna" and the latest KDE themes (yes, including the beloved Plastik), what everything calls clean and pretty I see as overly bloated and toyish! OS X is an example of how it can be done well- its widgets are nice looking (perhaps to a bit over-the-top degree), but they don't have 900px of wasted space per widget, and they don't look like Tonka toys. Really, though, widgets looked nice in Windows 2000 (for some reason, the XP Classic versions just don't look as nice), and they look nice in Gnome with a simple Bluecurve-esque theme. Qt looks bloated no matter how you style it!

PS: Also, why did Eugenia make this topic? It's obviously an invitation for a gentoo-forums-style multipage rant on the relative merits of gtk+ and qt, with the occassional reference to Aqua and Windows' various UI APIs. Hopefully I've covered everything in this post.
PPS: Please don't take anything seriously in any of the posts on this topic...
