Is this because it uses qt to talk to the other KDE apps? Just curious.
akonadi needed a core toolkit to use, and qt happens to fit the bill nicely.
KDE apps speak akonadi'ese, not the other way around. Non-kde apps could
just as well use akonadi too, which is the whole point of the exercise of
making it DE-independent.
