Using MFC to develop the application, one can expect the development to 
follow the HIG and UI conventions of Windows.  Additionally, it 
eliminates the dependency on an extra UI toolkit library, which has its 
own set of bugs, failings, and overhead above and beyond that of the 
Operating System.

Moving from one cross-platform UI toolkit (GTK -> QT) does not service 
these goals, which we feel will help produce a Pidgin-like client that 
is better integrated with and optimized for Windows users.
