No one was talking about a clone. The discussion was about the Textmate
guys themselves porting to Qt4 to make it cross-platform, and that's why
I'm taking issue with your post. We're specifically talking about a
proprietary application (well, two of them if you count the Windows clone).
You brought up KDE, which is almost exclusively used by open source
applications. It's completely irrelevant.
