my understanding QT4 is more of a cosmetic update and wouldn't
necessarily bring more sequencer functionality in. (correct me if I'm
wrong) However migrating could require a major overhaul....
Robert and Tim have put in a hell of a lot of work in the past year or
so and MusE is functioning really really well. It may look a bit
dated.. but that's really not the point is it?
Actually, I'm kind of dreading KDE/QT 4, because nothing I've seen or
heard of it has impressed me. As for looking dated, these days, usually
that seems to be defined by most people as not looking like a recent
version of Windows, which also isn't something I really aspire to with
my desktop anyway.
I think I'd agree with everything you've said -- if MusE (or any app)
decided to stay on QT3 for longer, it wouldn't break my heart at all!
A friend of mine who is busy trying to push me into using KDE4 says "It
has more eye candy than Windows!" as if that is something wonderful!
I also understand that Qt4 is supposed to be completely cross-platform
now, so KDE will be able to run KDE4 on Windows.
