This is a good point, although I notice recently it's being brought up
as an argument against using KDE apps in GNOME space, despite there
being a number of cases where GNOME / Gtk apps are recommended as (and
in some cases required, like package kit) for use in KDE space ;o)

The issue here is, the two "best" note takers both appear to be
qt/kde-centric, alas ...
