Zack goes for stuff that really matters. Luckily isn't that sort of 'proud person' that starts a project and goes on and on defending it even if it's proven a poor project. And then he is locked up to that project. Qt is good stuff, and working on bleeding edge xfree is good too :-)
About qt-mozilla.. I love khtml.

Getting Mozilla/Qt is not poor but does matter for the business desktop.

Me too, and I use it 95%+ in KDE.

But, Firefox being KDE friendly will help Firefox, and KDE...

Enterprises may want to use Firefox for some reasons (e.g. their users had
Firefox, Thunderbird and OO in windows, and they would migrate to Linux, so the
users would find the same applications), and if KDE copes well (File & Print
dialogs, kdewallet), the better!

Btw, Konqueror is faster and much more versatile, that's why I use it.

Users migrating from windows might use Fx for web, and konq for filebrowsing,
until they notice that konq is a great browser aswell.

So it's good when Fx and konq are great. First to help users with a nicely into KDE intergrated browser. If they see the poor gtk file+print-dialogs they might
not be amused I fear.

Fx needs Qt.

don''t need to bitch here but people usually call Firefox FF, not Fx.

No they don't (or maybe they do, but it's wrong). See The Firefox FAQ [1].

That's a good one.

Are you quoting this from his job resume? =)

They may even attract the interest of new developers, I think some of their other co-workers may have some skills with Qt.

Some skills? If their co-workers don't have ultimate Qt skills then who else? :-)

The people who send patches to TT? ;-)
