Qt programs are aliens on Mac OS X. They differ from "normal" programs.
Currently there are two general GUI APIs on Mac OS X: Carbon and Cocoa.
Everybody favors Cocoa over Carbon. And Qt is worse than Carbon. And
GTK+ does not even run on Mac OS X directly, only in X11. X11 in Mac OS
X is even worse than Qt (which is worse than Carbon which is worse than
Cocoa). No drag&drop, no window grouping (Expose). Each X11 window
belong to X11.app. No own main menu. Neither Qt nor GTK+ provide user
experience competeable with Cocoa. Users tend to favor Cocoa
applications over Carbon, etc. based. And there is no Cocoa binding yet.
There is a good news about Cocoa. Apple started BridgeSupport project
easing interfacing Cocoa to other languages.
Thus we have 2 projects: SWIG and BridgeSupport. They cover huge amount
of code. Both ones don't support Ada currently (at least BS). But if
they will...
