As people said in other threads, it's "Qt" and not "QT".
Overall I'd really like to make my projects use Qt, but the thing is that Qt is a C++ library and it does not play that well with C code, and C is still the most popular language (and I generally dislike C++ for its clunky syntax). It doesn't play well with D, either, since the Qt bindings for D project has gone stagnant for some reason. But GTK is C and is well supported by D as well. So even though I'm a KDE user, I'm forced to use GTK at this point...

Canonical was in favor of Wayland in 2010 but now they won't even commit to putting a wayland related flag into the compilation process, not to mention significant contribution to Wayland like patches or so. Making their iso grow from like 780 to 785MB is way over the top?
Not even that, we're talking about a few hundred kilobytes here. They don't need weston as a depend, they only need the wayland libraries to satisfy the wayland library dependancies in GTK!
