Ok, now I see, you referred to a post up the thread. Here's where the
disadvantage of a web forum over a newsgroup or mailing list shows ...

I think the preference of Real Language people for gtk is very simple -
there are, by historical accident (or is there another tangible reason?)
bindings for Gtk in those languages, while there aren't any for Qt.

One aspect of Qt is annoying - its dependence on database libraries.
I don't know if that played any role in making Gtk bindings preferred.
