No, I don't like Qt, it is just the GUI framework that sucks less,
IMO. Using GTK is out of the question. So the choice is doing something
with Qt, or nothing at all. As stated before, I know that the chances
for integration are almost nil (although I don't see why it would
refused if the core Emacs src is left untouched and the new display
engine is just a few .cpp files that are ignored unless you turn the
right knob at configure time.) In any case, if it reaches the demo
phase, it would motivate others to do something equivalent based on
requirements acceptable by the Emacs devs.
