Visual C++ power possibilities

No, neither of them are supplied by Microsoft. They're both open-source frameworks (conceptually similar to MFC except not restricted to Windows). They're useful if you're developing apps to run on multiple platforms.

But of course that makes it incredibly difficult to find leaks in my own code when there are hundreds already in GTK+. Is this something you've ever noticed with Qt? If not, what would you say are its weak points?

No... QT is quite a solid platform without weird memoryleaks. QTCreator even warns you now and then (not always, don't know why that is) that there are memoryleaks. Install QT + QTCreator for a few days and play around with it. If you don't like it you can throw it away as easily as you installed it ;)
