The Open Media Player uses Qt, not GTK. I guess the reason for not using QtQuick is that it is still in its relative infancy. It is not yet ready for use in a application that is designed to replace the stock media player. The lack of ready-made components is probably another factor. I expect that the team wanted to develop the UI as quickly as possible, making use of their familiarity with Qt Widgets.

But hey, I could be completely wrong.
