- From what I remember, qbzr integrates better with the Windows
look-and-feel, simply because Qt tries harder than Gtk. (I believe by
default Gtk tries to look like Gtk, while Qt tries to look like whatever
platform it is on.)

Beyond that 'bzr qlog >> bzr viz' but 'bzr gannotate > bzr qannotate'.

I realize there isn't an 'olive' for qbzr yet, but I thought the point
was Explorer integration, more than a standalone app.

At least, those were the things Mark & I discussed when we were talking
about choosing between qbzr and bzr-gtk. (Though I'll mention that if
*one* of them had a proper test suite, I probably would have pushed that
regardless :)
