Comment on Qt || ^Qt

Just a little note: Seems like you’re conflating QT apps with KDE apps. KTorrent, Amarok, Elisa, etc will pull half of KDE with them, transmission-qt, qbittorrent, strawberry, clementine and VLC won’t.

I’m not; I’m saying that, IME, the average Qt app is far more likely to also depend on one or more KDE components than the average GTK app is to pull I’m Gnome dependencies. I know there are Qt applications that don’t depend on KDE; it just seems that they’re relatively few in comparison to Gnome-less GTK applications

What QT software pulls KDE dependencies? AFAIK, only KDE software requires KDE dependencies. There might be a couple of exceptions but it’s certainly not most QT apps. There’s a lot of software you wouldn’t even know uses QT like PCSX2, Skype, or DaVinci Resolve.
