OK, this is getting over being just uninformed partisan to real FUD --
before commenting on Qt get some information on what you are talking about
(like this http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/features and
http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/indepth/modules or
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/classes.html). Just QString is a reason why I
think Qt is nice idea (I have no idea, whether wxwidgets have something
similar).

Again, above mentioned Features page -- free (GPL) Qt is available for
Windows, Mac, Linux (and many other Unices), and special version of Qt
(Qtopia) is for embedded systems and mobile phones. Of course, if you want
to make money on selling the software, then you should cough up some money
(yes, $1,780 or $3,300 is not peanuts, but it is certainly not the biggest
investment you will have to make for your company, and one I learn hard way
is that you should not save on your tools).
Best,
Matěj
