I've been using the Windows version of the Gimp (which runs on 
gtk; gtk+ for themes) for just about a year now. Development 
bugs aside, I'm quite happy with it. IIRC, win32 AbiWord uses 
gtk too. I've not used any win32 Qt programs so I don't know how 
they compare. An item to note is that only X11 Qt is libre  
software - the Win32 Qt GUI toolkit is not.
