Re: Qt?
KDE is based on Qt. Qt just gives you the tool kit to build a UI. It isn't a UI in itself.
KDE by the way was around before either Gnome or Unity. Gnome in fact was started by people who didn't like the idea that it was based on Qt and so started their own project based on the GUI widgets from the Gimp image editor (hence, GTK - Gimp Tool Kit).
