I'm curious what you found wrong with Qt? My experience using it has been really positive, my only grumble is that configuring builds with it can be a huge pain-in-the-ass. (Both building Qt itself, and integrating Qt into your project's build). The UI designer leaves a lot to be desired, but I find UI code ends up being a lot cleaner if you avoid RAD tools anyway. Personally Apple's UI API's and toolkits are a non-starter for me since I don't want to write UI code twice, and Objective-C and XCode are a nightmare to me. YMMV of course.
