Linux on desktop computers will begin taking off in mainstream markets in the next 12 to 18 months, Novell President Ron Hovsepian has predicted. Linux has been widely used on networked computers called servers, but it has comparatively little success on personal computers, beyond technically savvy users. Many companies have argued the open-source operating system is on the verge of breaking out in PCs and have been proven wrong. But Hovsepian sees some changes that he believes make the market ripe.

Take a look at Photoshop Elements (not regular Photoshop) - it's built upon Qt and I don't think it looks dull at all.
Actually, it's Photoshop Album that uses Qt.
And I think recent versions of Qt use the native theming APIs of Mac OS X and Windows XP to draw their widgets, so the look should be pretty good, even if the layout and behavior is not spot on.
