I kinda suspect Matthias does this on purpose so that the bikeshedders get something to argue about with the KDE zealots and it's easy for us developers to ignore those threads.

You kinda remind me of http://con.ca/img/news/00006244_FuckYouMomandDad.jpg

What he does is misinformation.

Misinform?

When someone says something he knows not to be true we call that a "lie" and the one who said it a "liar". Simple as that.

Of course there's still the next to 0 possibility, that he actually didn't know about all the other free toolkits which are 100 % free-of-cost, open source and industrial-strength (whatever that means exactly). But even that would not reflect too well on him. Especially since one shouldn't make such absolute statements if one has never even a single look outside his own project.

If that is true, then he's simply of the passive-agressive kind. If it's not, then he's a little bit too pretentious and self-contempt. He clearly cannot plead ignorance here. In any case, it only makes him (and GTK+ by extension) look bad.
