   Well, let's put it this way: the KDE developers chose Qt for a reason,   
   and Plasma isn't the only desktop environment to use Qt.  Even parts of   
   Microsoft Windows and certain third-party Windows applications use Qt,   
   because Qt can seamlessly integrate with whatever the underlying GUI   
   style is — of course, in Plasma, Qt is itself the underlying style.   
      
   Qt is incredibly flexible and versatile.  The KDE developers recognized   
   this from the start and have always fully exploited this flexibility and   
   versatility.  In terms of user interface design, they are completely   
   in sync with the philosophy behind Qt.   
      
   I guess it's a synergy thing. ;)
