The real way to see is by installing each along with their respective demos,
looking over some of the demo code, and perhaps coding some simple apps in
each.  

Qt4 has the most polished and complete API.  When judging looks under the
X-Window System, make sure to run qtconfig and try some of the other themes.

WX seems to have more design warts (the layout system takes some getting
used to), but is quite capable and flexible and probably has the most native
look and feel under win32.  The license is much more liberal for commercial
use.  Also, it comes with OS/X (both Tiger and Leopard), is easy to
install under MSWindows).
