GTK is pure C, while Qt is C++. It's both a blessing, and a curse.

E.g. I did not write, but just looked through the hoops PyQt has to jump to interface with Qt nicely. Quite impressive.

Qt being a pain to bind (and thus having few high quality bindings) is definitely a big reason why I’ve avoided it. I don’t really want to be writing UI in C++.

In my opinion not using managed languages is a huge hindrance to these platforms.
