While some people have a preference for KDE, Gnome or something else,
it's hard to imagine a desktop system of any kind that doesn't use
some Qt or GTK applications, the list of flagship apps that use one
technology or the other is just too long.
* Firefox/Thunderbird
* K3B
* Amarok
* GIMP
* Opera
With disk space cheap and plentiful, and all modern distros having
sensible package management, it's hardly much pain to run a desktop
system with most of GNOME and KDE installed.

While it may be faster than DLT tapes, 're-typing' is not a
valid recovery strategy.
