That is, they look out of place pretty much everywhere. The main exception to the previous statement being that they integrate into KDE well because of KDE's foundation in Qt. Other than that, the fact that wxWidgets gets native look and fell across all platforms is, IMHO, a killer feature. Additionally, the license for wxWidgets is much more permissive than that of Qt, which may be of concern if the software under development is to be proprietary.
