i'm sort of tolerable still, given its free and open source, but
that's the only straw that's holding GTK above the quick sand for me.

a Qt transition will be slow, for example, for every button and signal
there is a rewrite - we add those to GTK with every single day as
users request functionality.
i'm also not sure about the "will gettext work with Qt" situation.

but Qt5 with QtQuick2.0 with QML is simply a beast, from what i've
seen on their youtube channel and it soon will be possible to run on
Android and iOS properly. i believe a certain UI component choices
have to be made thought...

one annoying thing for me is that one can end up with a 40mb folder of
dependencies for a small app, which is over-bloat.
they are using ICU for internalization now, which is alone is huge
20mb+ dyn-library (or at least for the Qt5 build case).

quite busy right now, but probably by the end of the week...or when
there is more time for testing.
if someone has the free time - please go ahead.
