I just want to point out, for those who do not already know, KDE is
not the same as Qt. KDE is built using Qt. I write most everything at
work using C++/Qt. I do not use any KDE libraries. I still get the
lovely printing, ftp, socket, mysql, etc widgets without having to run
any of the KDE stuff.

Heh, I'm only a novice programmer, and
I'm already lazy :)
Ah, the sign of a good programmer. :)
KDE and Gnome both appear greedy to me. They both
want me to use their
system and hence, tell me how to use my computer. Very little care is
taken to make sure individual parts can be used without installing the
whole whack. It's like I want to marry the girl I love but I can't
without also marrying her cousin, her sister and her aunt. This is the
Win/Mac philosophy, not the UNIX philosophy, and especially not the free
software philosophy.
It's true that with KDE you are marrying into KDE's family with bastard
cousins like ksycoca, kdeinit, klauncher etc. But this isn't true with
gnome.
