Qt (especially Qt 5) is one of the most portable toolkits out there, its almost like Webkit in that respect. Lot of excellent work has been done in Qt 5 (and Qt 4.8) to make it easy to port to any platform with minimal dependencies. It already works on Windows (albeit Win32, not WinRT), Linux (X11, Wayland as well as almost pure Qt), OSX, QNX.

Sure, it is still not a one-click task, but that can never be the case. I think Qt has a bright future simply because it is essentially unkillable at this point. (Open-source licensing, open governance already in place, highly portable).

That's pretty much the best reason to keep using it. It's got a good head of steam for pushing forward so it'll take a lot to kill it off.
