If I do the same thing on my UNIX machines, I will find almost the  
exact opposite. I have almost no Qt applications, a select few GTK  
apps, and most of the others are Motif or Tk. Why does low market  
share on the toolkit for Open Source communities indicate a bad  
toolkit or a problem?

One thing I think should be done is to provide proper resource files  
to help "integrate" the look and feel of NEdit into various systems.
