Sure. Except that you have no numbers. I've tried to avoid

I don't need much. Google and Adobe both use Qt. That makes it easy
to just logically conclude that there are more Qt than Motif users ;)
the mud of a Motif vs Gtk or Qt, since all I care about is the false
statements and FUD about Motif. I don't really care what toolkit you
use, since it doesn't much matter. But I suggest people look at this
article.

I'll quote just a little from the article:
"When it comes to developing GUI applications on Linux, people either
will program in GTK or QT. GTK has no formal support and you can
develop
any time of application with it for free. QT, on the other hand, has
an
"open source" version, in which you must agree to make all programs
you
write with QT open-source. If you want to write commercial
applications,
you have to shell out some cash (of course, Trolltech provides
commercial support)."
And that article is two years out of date. There's an LGPL version of
Qt now that you can use for commercial software.
As for the rest of what you said, I'll never agree. But as others
have said: Motif is dead; deal with it.
