I too prefer GTK over Qt. I think some of this dislike comes from the fact its C and not C++. Lot of the people siding with Qt prefer the truely OO approach rather than GTK's approach. I don't believe one is better than the other, but each has its own unique qualities. It's really up to the people programming with it. Qt folks can always start their own port of Chrome. That's the beauty of open source projects. :)
