Guys, let's not turn this into a C++ vs C debate, that has been done (with 
dubious results) on more appropriate forums. The question here was whether Qt 
can be used without extensive C++ knowledge (the answer to which IMHO is - 
YES). I find it odd to fight over such issues as this, when the real 
(non-academic, non-philosophical, non-preferential, etc) differences are much 
larger. E.g. if you fight over C++, what about the simplest GUI issues ? 
Layouts, Kinetic, DeclarativeUI, QGraphicsView, or if we're talking not only 
about appearance, MVC widgets ? Or the migration of tools required to use the 
toolkits, like Glade -> QtDesigner, qmake, etc ? God forbid whole modules 
that were not available in GTK or done completely another way, like, Phonon, 
QSql, QNetwork... You'll spend FAR more time to adapt those (sometimes small 
but painstaking) changes than you ever will on the (minimal) extra C++ 
knowledge/syntax replacement you need.
