I've used Borland's C++Builder (the windows C++ uncle of Kylix)...
experience would seem to suggest that the VCL (visual component library)
will be made as identical as possible to the windows one... and one would

toolkit

Presumably, Borland decided that the best one for them was QT, in the same
way the KDE did...
