I chose Clutter over Qt because it was easier to add video playback to my application. Since then, there has been some progress made in that area with Qt in the form of qtgstreamer. Also, I really like the way Clutter allows me to make a fluid interface without having to add additional libs. There are a few quirks and it is somewhat of a moving target with the gradual transition to 2.0 but nothing I have not found a workaround for yet.
Qt quick looks promising, but right around the time I was making a decision on development libraries Qt was going through major upheaval due to the Nokia MS transition. The good parts of quick were sequestered in mobility applications. I still dont think they have managed to get their video api squared away, atleast not for desktop or embedded development. I think the recommended api is still phonon based. They were in the process of changing it when the upheaval started and development became focused on mobile. If you are looking into Qt you should check to see if Qt quick fits your needs. That is where future development is focused. I think it is going to be a great development environment. Their IDE is also very nice and advanced. If you are planning on using Vala with Clutter then Qt Creator is way better than any development environment you can setup with Vala/Clutter (please no war here). For me it comes down to a few key features and stability. Clutter/Vala met my needs and so far updates have come regularly and the platform works well for me. Hopefully, it will stay that way. You never know though. I guess it is good news that Bassi has blogged about his commitment to Clutter during his transition to Mozilla. I'm keeping an eye on Qt quick though because I think its cool.
