You missed up Felipe's point. He just want to say that qt is better organized 
and less buggy (just look at bug tracker, and compare number and type of qt 
bugs vs. gtk2 bugs), but of course with one minus that qt needs C bindings 
library.
My company live it's life on bussines apps (like yours afaik) and linux is 
primary target. Sorry, but gtk2 is crap in it's current state for serious 
bussiness applicaton.
I even come to idea to write gtk2ng from stratch, and organize it in a way qt 
and carbon are organized.It's an big mess divided into interfaces/gtk & 
interfaces/gtk2 dir with bunch of ifdef's.
