I love KDE too, and the Qt apps.

I'm not even sure if the toolkit is better but the whole philosophy of giving as many options and choices as needed is a breath of fresh air in this day where opinionated design is so popular due to people copying Apple.

If you happen to have AMD gpu on Windows you not only face buggy and unstable drivers, but also their Adrenalin control panel made with Qt. It takes up to 20% of gpu just to render text and do it so slow you have to wait it to appear. Moving mouse over consuming up to full core of 4+ ghz core i7.
