Ironic that you ask me to give arguments, when that's what I was asking the OP to do.
That's not ironic, I wanted to know why you were calling people sycophants, without any valid reasons, and I still don't see any valid reason.
For the record, I developed for a long time with Qt3 and 4 on five different platforms and loved it because of it's clean, consistent object model, great documentation and value of pragmatism over 'standard practice'. It also is the best C++ UI toolkit I have ever seen
I've seen a bit of the KDE libs, but not developed much with them.

If that's the case, your original response was just trolling, and I have to stop feeding trolls. Sounds like you already knew the reasons, and if that is so, modding the OP up would have been the right response.

I gave my reason if you read carefully. If you don't accept it, then that's fine, but don't claim I didn't give it. I see your pride was hurt by the 'sycophant' comment and that is a shame, but you really shouldn't take things so personally, since it was not aimed specifically at you, but generally those that 'me too' to unsubstantiated claims. Maybe the shoe fits…

Not a troll at all, but since your feelings are easily hurt, I'm sure that ridiculous label will help you in validating them.
You seemed to miss my point completely. I'm _very_ familiar with Qt, not at all well-versed with the KDE libs. I also have a lot of experience with the other platforms mentioned, I see a lot of positive aspect in .NET and Cocoa too. I wanted to know why someone thought the KDE development platform is so much better, with substantial examples or at least some explanation (which I got by-the-way. Thank you Hiev). I have every right to ask someone to explain why they think something is better.
If you consider that trolling, it's a hard world out there. I suggest you toughen up. You're going to get 'trolled' a lot.

Uhm, just because you agree about the technical merits of one piece of software compared to another does not make one a sycophant. Before calling some one a "a self-seeking, servile flatterer; fawning parasite." (dictionary.com) try doing your own research and then give your arguments on why you disagree.

Calm down and chill out. I never said I disagreed. I asked for justification, because the opinion stated was not substantiated (it since has been). The'sycophants' I referred to were those who voted up a comment that came across as mere opinion without facts. I see many posts on KDE4 threads, singing it's praises over other development platforms without little explanation why it's better.
