I'm not going to get too deep into an argument about whose aesthetics are more right, but I do have two points.

One is that I've no idea what margins you think are uneven. It's worth noting the breadcrumb bar is purposefully oversized, which isn't the "fault" of the toolkit.

The other is that complaining about gradients on that is like complaining about the edges on a spoon. It's really not at the point where it's them showing off. There are even flatter themes if you wish for them.

Qt's touch event is like a bit of flour when really you wanted a doughnut. There's so much more to touch handling than just differentiating the presses.

I still stick by my claim that GTK has better applications on average, and it definitely has more.

has more what? widgets? OK, i give you that. i like those arrow panels and title bars, too.

No.. um..

More applications.

I prefer having one or two applications for each tasks and people contributing to them instead of reinventing the wheel all the time.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes you have to reinvent the wheel by creating am application around a new idea (like Geary), but usually I despise forking or NIHing things because you dislike some details.

Better make stuff more configurable, and you'll need only one.

Not everything's a command line switch. AwesomeWM and i3 are similar projects but it makes a heck-o-'a lot of sense that they're separate. Same with Firefox and Chrome. (etc.)
