Qt is an entirely unrelated toolkit, it has nothing to do with Gtk.

That is true, wxwidgets does allow your application to look like a
native application between OSX, windows, and Gtk, and Qt. The problem
with wxwidgets is that it is a subset of all systems, so you don't get
the full power of Gtk, you just get a small subset of it, and it's
somewhat limiting.

Well if you want to write applications for GNOME, you should use Gtk:
