Well, the main thing I'd likely be interested in is integration with 
KDE's color scheme. (I'd also like to see Qt pick up more of it, but 
that seems unlikely, at least in the short term.) But there are other 
possibilities; imagine opening a document with a few staves of music and 
clicking on it, and up pops RG! (I think KOffice already has something 
for music editing, but I think it's young, and therefore not likely to 
be as featureful.)

There's also little things, like getting Oxygen (or whatever theme is in 
use) icons cheaply, KDE standard actions, etc.

And, honestly, there's an extent to which I can't answer that. Maybe, in 
the end I'll decide I don't care, but knowing that people aren't 
dead-set against it helps a lot :-).

Technically, you can /always/ implement the same functionality yourself, 
it's just a lot more work.
