Remember that KDE/Qt were not licensed under anything GPL-compatible at the time, hence the reason GNOME was started in the first place.

You weren't the only one on #gimp; don't pretend GIMP had a much better class of developers. Remember GEGL used to refer to hairy parts of the codebase (Genetically-Engineered Goat, Large) that people were afraid of touching.
