The thing is, of course, that you don't need to trust the Qt Company. That's why we have the KDE-Free Qt foundation, and that alone makes Qt the best choice for anyone who developers software that can use LGPL libraries, commercial or open source.
My concern is that I don't trust Qt Company now to not change the rules on me later, or hike the price, etc. I would choose Qt for commercial solely because I already know it from building FLOSS apps. If I need to learn something else for FLOSS, I'm not going to stick with Qt. There's limited space in my brain for expertise and I want something that will meet all needs.
Qt is amazing and I love it, but an amazing thing I love but can't use/rely on isn't worth much.
