I would point out Qt as a very well and cleanly designed project that "won" as in it's one of the if not the top GUI frameworks out there. http://qt-project.or

Is it actually all that widespread if you consider the full set of all apps on all platforms? The impression I get is that the majority of apps don't use any cross-platform GUI framework and instead use the native API of the platform - Win32 for pre-XP Windows, .NET for Vista+ Windows, Cocoa for Macintosh, GTK or KDE for Linux, HTML/CSS/JS for the Web, native Android for Android, native iOS for iOS, etc.

  KDE is the community, not the toolkit. Most KDE specific widgets have been merged/replaced in Qt over time. KF5 mostly is a bunch of small libraries using Qt. http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/kf5_big_0.png http://dot.kde.org/sites/dot.kde.org/files/kf5_big_0.png Qt is also used by a few "big" software and as the default toolkit for BB10, Jolla and Mer (totaling a nice 1% market share ;) ). It is also seen as the successor to Motif for large scientific applications.
