Well I'll disagree in that I much prefer the look of GTK 3 over 
Qt5, at least as I've seen it in KDE but that's a personal 
opinion. I run a Gnome/GTK3 environment so I avoid Qt apps as 
much as possible.

I think this uses Gtk2 though and not Gtk3, there are some 
differences in how Gtk2 renders versus Gtk3 so it won't be 
completely seamless.

Even though I love Gtk I will agree with this, for cross platform 
work Qt is a better option then Gtk, just too bad about the lack 
of bindings.
