All they need to do is get more on to orthogonalizing their toolkit.
When it comes down to it a set of widgets just really is a set of drawing instructions, layering, geometry and event management. The magic is in finding a clean way to make all of them fit together cleanly and orthogonally.
Qt4 actually did a good job api wise for breaking out geometry, drawing instructions and layering. I think their mill stone is the event stuff, and the overengineered MVC stuff, but anyways..
