I know I'm not the first to post about this (I'm about 12 hours too late for that) but I do think it's very exciting news. I can't see any immediate impact it will have on the KDE desktop itself but I'm sure that 6/12 months down the line, once Qt usage is increased and bugs are fixed and new features are implemented, we'll feel the impact.

It interesting too see how far this news has spread across the Internet too. For example I'm a regular on the Ogre3D forums and even though there's very little interaction between the two projects, there's discussion going on there.

Perhaps the most surprising thing, however, is that reading the Dot post about it there's probably the lowest level of trolling I've seen in a long time. Not even hardly any anti-GTK trolling either which is good to see. Well done community!

(On this note, does anyone know of any time line for the new Dot? I heard before 4.2 is released but that's getting closer now.)
