Both support Python bindings, which rivals VB in ease of use.

Supported by pretty much everyone other than Redhat. Redhat initially
tried to completely shun KDE, as they had employed most of the Gnome
team. But after Qt became open source, they back pedalled and included
Qt/KDE.

The last I looked, GTK C++ bindings were very incomplete. Qt makes
changes to the C++ language itself (via a pre processor) to make
GUI programming easy.
People however make choices based on the following factors:
1. I love/hate C++
2. I love/hate GPL
