Agreed.
I say we see some pics first

It's kinda pointless to post pics of the windows Qt build for several reasons, the main one being that I never created one, the other one being that it probably looks the same as the wxWidgets build. There's not much use of a Qt GUI apart from being much stabler and not looking like crap in KDE (the latter reason was why I started the port anyway).
The issue is less with wxw and more with the spaghetti which is dolphin's gui code
Anyways, that's off topic.
I still remember the first time I looked at dolphin's GUI code.
"It can't be as bad as....OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT!?!?"
I think this basically sums up what every dev thinks of it at the moment:

i think its more a case of that site being an ass
Nah. I tried a couple of other sites with the same image. The forum won't let me do it, period.

Still, from what you said it has only advantages, so why not use it?
Some of the developers do not want to use QT.
Then tell those devs to completely rewrite the WxWidgets GUI.
It also has some pseudo-disadvantages like requiring a pretty huge SDK (~300 MB) to actually develop for (while the runtime should be about equal in size iirc).
