I also wondered the same question in the past.

I think xconfig was implemented differently at first,
then later it was rewritten based on Qt.
The former developers kept the target name 'xconfig'
to avoid unneeded impacts, but the internal implementation
changed a lot. So, it is a historical reason, I guess.

I do not think it would be rewritten
based on yet another library, but
I just convinced myself "it's just a name" after all.
