I'm sorry about my post, and I can't edit it. It was trolled, and this thread shouldn't dissolve into a silly flamewar.
I think that GTK is a good toolkit, and will always be an important part of the GNU/Linux/*nix ecosystem.
It's just depressing to see that the "Kill KDE ayatollahs" from the dark ages of desktop wars are still alive. Qt is a fantastic toolkit used by some of the best Linux software: VLC, Amarok, SMPlayer, even Skype.
The most important Linux apps which made it viable for a desktop are neither Qt nor GTK anyway: OpenOffice and Firefox. Same goes for Thunderbird and other Mozilla stuff. The most important editors are neither: Emacs and vim (despite vim's optional menubar which is not needed).
