As a developer who actually modifies most software, I need code that is readable and sane.

Qt and KDE applications usually provide that, while the mere use of G_OBJECT (which is at the core of GTK) is a source of major headaches to any reasonable programmer.

As a pure user, I don't care too much what an application uses (but I still prefer KDE/Qt because G* applications typically put buttons in the wrong order etc.), but as a developer, I think GTK is an atrocity that must die.

All of that...

All of that, but mostly because of "Integration into the rest of KDE".
That makes things so much easier, and faster.

I tend to use non KDE applications in more specialised stuff.
Like office, video/sound/graphics editing...

By the way, I was using Vista for a few hours. Very good looking, but man..., it won't let you do the simplest thing, without a dozen of other things getting in your way first. And as for the "non expert users", take a look at the ActiveX options, in Microsofts' Internet Options...
(just comparing with the competition)

"I take the best, regardless of toolkit."

Many KDE applications just happen to be what I consider best. The other points in the poll does make the kapplications more appealing to me (consistent look and feel, dcop etc), but I also use non-KDE applications like Firefox. If there was a Linux version of Photoshop, I would use it too.

With that said, a majority of the applications I use are KDE applications.
