=46rom which the only thing that follows is that your perspective is
intentionally narrow. Since the vast of open-source development happens
on OSS Unixen, where a KDE dependency is not a limiting factor to any
commercial end, it would make sense that someone making a GUI app on the
Qt side would use the extra rope that KDE would give him for his own
convenience or to get more functionality for his time.

However, TextMate is not a non-profit open-source volunteer project.
Trying to suggest what decisions they'd make while speaking
demonstratively from a perspective that is, as you yourself admit, very
much not the perspective of the TextMate developers strikes me as odd in
the very least.
