Sorry, I just don't understand your reasoning here. If a GUI toolkit satisfies your requirements, what does it matter if it's "Windows only" or not? It seems to me that Qt fulfills all your requirements, and Qt certainly isn't "Windows only". 

It's your project, so you don't have build it on any platform you don't want to, but saying your IDE HAS to be "Windows only !" because of your GUI toolkit requirements is not being realistic.
