After Nokia purchsed Trolltech last year, doubts arose about how Nokia would handle the dual licensing model of Qt, the advanced cross-platform toolkit which lies at the base of the KDE Free software desktop. As it turns out, these doubts were unfounded, as Nokia today announced it's going to add the LGPL to Qt's licensing model, starting with Qt 4.5.

We're using Qt commercially. If you like C++ then Qt is possibly the best toolkit available. It's simple as that.

Conversely if you like C gtk is urm....yuk...nah, I'm being harsh, but it certainly isn't to my taste.

I am much more experienced in C than C++ and I much prefer the Qt way to the GTK way.

Same here. with Qt being LGPL now I have no reason any longer to don't switch except probably some learning-curve till I am more familar with the OOP-world. Time for me to seriously look at Qt and KDE now.

I am starting learning Qt today. Cross platform, solid language, C (*nix) compatibility. What else can I ask for?

Besides the great toolkit the support from Qt Software is superb!
