Well, yes. At least it tries hard (even if the result is not always
what you would expect :) Also, I applaud Nokia for the license change
(it was long overdue).

But one thing to consider is that even "Qt apps" don't really
integrate nicely into KDE: I recently wondered why one random
application I tried would integrate so badly into KDE. In the end I
learned it was a "pure" Qt4 app and not a KDE4 (Qt plus kdelibs,
plasma, etc) application :( On the other hand, full KDE apps take a
*long* time just to start up on non-KDE desktops because they first
start all kinds of KDE background services...

The same has been true for pure GTK vs GNOME (libgnome, libbonobo,
gnomevfs, ...) apps in the past, but it looks like GNOME finally
managed to get rid of all the extra dependencies to get a cleaner
platform (and has to link against less libraries). Both desktops are
evolving really nice IMHO, but I think KDE's inability to directly
control Qt will be a problem for them in the future.
