When I was listening to your talk and about the MVC part I was pretty 
surprised since it was one of the first things I learned when reading about 
Qt/KDE programming. I was under the impression, that everyone would be using 
it...

Actually Qt supports it very well especially with the signals and slots 
mechanism which makes it a lot easier to make objects interact.

And btw, Qt was started to create a good toolkit for UNIX which would make 
porting to Windows easy.
