The complainers didn't make a 180 degree turn. The people complaining about non-free compatibility is a different set from those who complained about free-compatibility.
At least in theory.

I think so too. I know I was one of the people who complained about the non-free:ness of QT back in the day to the extent that I avoided KDE. But though I may wish that our platform API:s where all licensed under LGPL, having QT under the GPL is not at all a problem for me. I'm sure some of the people are still the same people who have simply decided to dislike KDE (or get payed to dislike KDE), but I belive they are in a minority.
