The fact is, that on a machine constrained by memory resources, CPU
resources and storage resources, that diverging from the specified

Qt/Qtopia, I'd give the exact same advice to stick away from GTK.
What you are told to do in your project is write down all the options
and argue the reasons for or against them. So it's no use to be
biased and rule all the options out without justification.
