SLED12 moved to Gnome3, Ubuntu Unity8 moves to QT?!


Hi there,
Last year or so i have been studying some C# in a spare time.
Since i also want to write a gui for adtool to have some kind of RSAT->ADUC for Linux one day. First i discovered Mono. But then i discovered its only Open Source for Educational purposes.
Now recentely i also have been, again (played with it already years back), trough some Dreamweaver basics, and this year i am about to take a look at some WebDev stuff, a lilbit of Drupal and some PHP maybe.
And recentely i discovered Vala (has C# like syntax), which sounds awesome, so this is why i started reading about GObject, on which it works.
As i understand Dreamweaver gives the way to Drupal because you cant really somewhat click around and create a good structure of a website. Thats also the reason, i suppose, why frameworks like ROR/Django are al the rage nowadays. Now after reading wikipedia article about GObject, which is actually quite interesting, because it talks about/somewhat compares the famous C++ and C#, and gives some little more idea on them.
I tought of GObject as also kind of something inbetween a library and a framework. If it may be tought of in those terms.
So then it looks like, if you see how forks of Gnome Shell become quite popular (Cinnamon/Pantheon-Elementary), and i dont really see like many KDE based anything? That maybe indeed GObject as a certain structure/model that gives posibility/makes it easier to actually programm GUI. Maybe QT gives the way to Gnome3 with its GObject same way Dreamweaver-like things give way to Drupal/Frameworks.
Now if that is true i can understand why Suse switched to Gnome3.
But what is the strategy about Ubuntu Unity8 move to QT then? That i have been hearing about. Something i have not tought of yet? Or just not a best decision maybe?

Thanks in advance,
Sorry for a bit longer post,
Nikolai

This post is very confusing since only the last paragraph is in any way linked to the title.
As far as I can tell, and put briefly, Ubuntu switched to Unity because that means that Canonical have absolute control over the user interface and, as Microsoft tried to ape, they believe that everything from desktop multi-monitor workstations to mobile telephones work better if they share the same user interface.
So to answer what I think your question is: Programming languages have nothing to do with the choice of desktop environment for any distribution.
