Mostly that there would be no point, as it doesn't offer any significant advantages over GTK, and has some clear problems -- notably it's a C++ toolkit (I personally like C++, but Emacs is not a C++ app). [I also have some personal gripes about qt4, e.g., it screws up font rendering in some cases if you have a ~/.fonts.conf file, but things like that are presumably bugs, and could theoretically be fixed.] -Miles -- Run away!
