I thought you stated it again recently. Since I am too lazy to search

So, if you came to LyX development now that lyx works with msvc, would
you still start a qt4 frontend? Why?
Yes. If only because I want to learn Qt4. Of course the fact that the
API is so much cleaner than Qt3 and that the official version is GPL on
windows add weight to the balance.
So yes, it started as a personal choice (mine) that was not very thought
out from a project management point of view. But the result is here so
we shall not ignore it. All the more importantly, other developers
prefers to develop with Qt4. Look at the good work from Edwin and Peter.
