Gtk and Qt Preferences
In December I posted a poll asking visitors to vote based on their desktop environment and graphical toolkit preferences. While there were many votes in each category, the most noteworthy is that nearly 60% of respondents care if either Gtk or Qt is being used. The data is interesting because it highlights some of the progress that still needs to be made so all Linux software can work equally well no matter what desktop environment is being used.
Of the 558 users who voted, 48% use KDE, 45% use GNOME, and 7% use a different environment.
Among the KDE users, it was fairly close between those would don't care which graphics toolkit is used and those that prefer Qt, but will use Gtk. Voters who only use Qt based apps were a distant third.

Gtk or Qt: Is this the real question?
Back in December, LinuxAppFinder had a poll: Gtk or Qt: Do You Care? He also posted the rationale, and now he provides an interpretation of the results.
To me, it seems that the poll is not asking the right questions. Using applications that have GTK+ dependencies under KDE or any other environment is easy; pretty much the same could be said about applications that have Qt dependencies.
This is at times inevitable, no matter what toolkit is your favorite. The real problems is...
