OK. Sorry, that was not clear.

The GUI choice is a very different issue from that of an editor. It's
a library for use by other programs, while editors stand alone.
We might want to develop a suite of GUI tools for our users. These tools
would have a consistent look and feel. Before embarking on such a project,
it would make sense to select one GUI to use in developing them.
Debian is not alone in this. Please don't think we are the only Linux
distribution that cares about free software and opposes GPL-ed programs
being built on top of Qt. In coming months you will start to see
significant commercial force behind GNOME.
Thanks
