Bare in mind that I am only suggesting the Qt Creator IDE and not developing with the libs themselves (although Qt is quite solid - not really suited to your project).
The most profound thing in my mind that stands out is the ability to plug a new toolchain in without much hassle. You just invoke qmake and it can generate a makefile for the new toolchain. This simply cannot be said about Visual Studio.
Having the exact same IDE with the exact same interface on all of your target platforms is a really nice thing to have for productivity. Also, Qt is a standard lib in Debian/KDE distros (and probably more) so you would not face a dependency problem in getting up and running there.
Qt Creator can also use cmake if you wish.
In short, it just jives with cross-platform well.
Browse through the docs for qmake and see what you think.
