The people that do the work get to set the course of the project; the Gnome devs are scratching their own itch.<p>QT caters to more platforms, because QT _is_ Digia&#x2F;The QT company&#x27;s product.

But some people in this thread (not you) seem to blame or resent Gnome developers for doing their jobs, which strikes me as odd, to say the least.
