Excellent toolkit. Among, if not the, the very best. Only...too bad its C++

There are Java bindings if that's more your cup-of-tea. (See QT Jambi on the QT site)

Well there is a lot of active work going on with Qt language bindings at the momeent. We have two Pythons (PyQt and PySide), QtRuby, PerlQt, Qyoto (C#), Common Lisp, Lua, and finally two QtScripts (a Qt Labs one and one based on the 'Smoke' libraries).

I have to disagree with you and have to say "fortunately it is C++" and in relation to "excellent" toolkit, I will probably be flamed for this but have you tried their QTDesigner? *It's joke!* I've used Visual C++, C++ Builder, wxDev-C++ and QTDesigner (as a GUI designer) and I felt very restrained esepcially because I can't adjust those stupid windows that take 99% of the space + things not behaving as expected.
