Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Canonical, recently did an interview with derStandard in which he discussed issues with Ubuntu's latest release, innovation, the future of GNOME, and other subjects. Perhaps the most interesting thing he said is that Linux does not yet deliver "a good enough user experience." Of course, you could say that of any operating system.
Editor's Note: QT-based Gnome was also an interesting point-of-view.

there are only a few of us paid to work on KDE full time, yes. but there are several Qt developers who *also* work on KDE (some during creative fridays) and even more that work with KDE while working on Qt. the new printing support in Qt is a great example of the latter, in fact.
(there are other KDE shops as well, of course; KDAB with Kontact is probably a prime example of that.)
reciprocal is a good term for it.
(i'd also point to the xquery, webkit and printing support for further examples)
indeed; and imho that's a good thing.
Qt is influenced to varying degrees by KDE (and vice versa), but control would probably not be a great thing.
while a close cooperation exists, the independence of both Qt and KDE keeps each side "honest". there's also a lot more to Qt usage than KDE as well, ranging from the well known examples (Scribus, Skype, Google Earth, ..) to thousands of ISV apps. it's a pretty diverse ecosystem, and we all tend to get along and collaborate pretty well within it.
