For Rosegarden it's because we enjoy using Qt - it's stable and it's
mature and it's

I do get the feeling that desktops are not really well geared for audio
work - theyre just too heavyweight these days - especially nautilus et
al. on the GNOME side.
Ideally, you'd use very a lightweight WM (black/fluxbox?).
For serious audio work you wouldnt really want an email/IM/whatever

Howdy Folks:
The discussion a few weeks back about "polishing" the user interface of Linux
audio apps has set me thinking on the topic of Desktop Environments (e.g.
