It's been pretty important in shaping my opinion, that. Say what you like about kde/qt, but when it comes to file management in general, let alone the standard dialogs, they're years ahead - actually acknowledging the possibility that a GUI user may use a keyboard to drive things, may want to type in the path themselves including filters, find as they type, and so on.
I agree. the kde widget set has always been streets ahead of gtk in terms both of appearance and functionality. But no way am I going over to C++ just to use it.
Interesting - I've never liked the look of Qt - and I still don't! I do understand that it is nice from a coding point of view, though (so someone told me, once upon a time, so they could have been talking crap ;)
Surely we should be arguing about ease of use (and power) rather than looks. The aim is to give the user that ability to do what they need to do easily and *then*, maybe, make it look pretty.
