User interfaces are not the easiest thing to design.  Qt does not
inherently make a user interface logical, you can write junk in any
language.

Well, I'm sure I'll find out.  It's inexpensive even for team use and
the licensing terms are good.

They probably got tired of being bled by Trolltech each year and with
the escalating costs associated with it.  The fact that you pay the same
for the Qt/Mac product as you do for Windows and Linux really upsets me,
because the OS X version of Qt is, to put it frankly, complete crap.
