Well, you want me to be serious, here I am:
I agree that in the end it's a matter of taste. I've tested gtk, gtkmm 
and Qt, and, personnally, I feel better with Qt. It was faster for me to 
get in, and I had the impression that development was faster. 
Additionnally I had student able to hack a image filter that involved 
network, OpenGL and Jpeg decoding in two dsays without any prior 
knowledge of Qt. Leto, who worked on Gtk (quite a long time ago I 
agree), reported problem with undocumented features. But those are 
probably resolved since. In conclusion, perhaps I'm hardwired in some 
way that Qt fits me better.

And don't say I'm religious about Qt, as I'm about to hack a bit for the 
 maemo plateform. I've even been doing win32 those days at job, whose 
widgets API is far worse than both Qt and Gtk (this is just a test to 
see if Seb is reading this mail ;-)).

You know, I'm getting older and all those things ;-)

P.S.	You know, you are very meta-polemic in your intention to be 
a-polemic ;-)
