may be this is not so related to the question ... but my first deal with qt was just great starting from their well organized Documentation to their great widgets

the GraphicsView is just ammazing ! :)

Maybe you have heard about Google Earth which happens to be programmed in Qt too.

That aside, I like Qt for my in-house development because it

• is very well supported and documented,
• allows me to write simple and decent-looking apps that are
• works cross-platform for Windows and Linux with little effort, and
• contains nice to have components for database access, regexps, guis, xml, ...

I also use the Qwt widgets for easy real-time plotting on top of Qt.
