"Good news everyone", looks like
VLC is going to ship with a Qt4-based GUI in the future. That means I can finally fix some issues with the clumsy VLC GUI, that annoyed me for so long on OS X.
I would imagine VLC could become the Qt4-project with the largest userbase shortly. A larger userbase results in a better product (usually), helping Trolltech ironing out bugs and finding out what developers really need. I really hope more projects are going to pick up Qt4 in the long-term for exactly those reasons.
