GTK+, QT, Motif

I've been a Linux fan for quite a few years back, ever since I read Moving to Linux (first edition; later editions cut stuff out, and he switched to Ubuntu and GNOME. Talk about criminal), but one thing that drives me nuts is that some developers insist on writing their programs in a toolkit that looks/is Motif. There's waay better UIs that look much less 1980, so why is it still being used at all?! Believe it not developers, looks are in fact important in a program.

Please, use a good toolkit like QT or GTK+. Everyone will thank you for it.
