Alternatives to Qt

I've been searching the web inorder to find a cross-platform(Mac, Pc, perhaps even linux) framework.

I know that qt is the the industrial standart for doing that sort of thing in c++.

The thing that rubs me the wrong way is the fact that there is only one option(two if you count making your own framework). One option for making a commercial cross-platform application, this cannot be true?

Also Qt's way, using a precompiler and messing up the language with slots and sockets is a mess, its that simple. It makes it a mess to develop in ide's and it makes it a mess to compile if you are not using qmake, All in all this means that qt doesn't play well with others.

Could someone point me in the direction of other commercially used crossplatform gui frameworks?
