Using Qt+GTK sounds platform independent, yes, but Sugar is not platform 
independent anyway, it is tied to Linux+Python+DBus+GTK, and from a 
Sugar point of view requiring Qt (isn't Qt+GTK a GTK wrapper around Qt?) 
is bloat.  It might integrate well, but consumes space and memory.

I only skimmed that page (my strength is in software packaging, not in 
developing software) but it seems you do not talk about Qt there, only 
PyGTK.
