Is Qt application technically superior to GTK ones? It depends. The point is mixed UI environment will be an issue. I was told in previous TSG meeting that 1.0 will be GTK Netbook UX and I quite understood the reasoning. But I was also told it would be migrated to Qt based too, which turned out to be a false statement. I personally don't care Netbook too much because I am not interested. The information I got in this email thread made me worry about whether we will get a unified platform.
