GTK+ is very far from being full feature for most people. I dislike
Qt because all their fonts seem much larger than they should be, and
their shade of gray is much darker than I prefer.
I still think the debate comes down to C or C++. GTK+ is definately
the choice for C programs. While C++ programs often use Qt. GTK+
does have C++ bindings, a quick check lists 4. However some people
don't really like those bindings...
Also a minor correction, GTK+ is LGPL, which allows programs with
other licenses to use it.
