Fair does not necessarily mean good. As a fledgling company, we have
very little money to spend. Thus, our only real option is to write
our own or use something truely free.
If enough companies feel the same way we do, or would prefer to use
a different for-pay GUI system over this for-pay one, then Qt will
not be very successful.
