TQt3 as opposed to what? There seem to be two different development environments active, but I can't find anything e.g. in the Wiki to differentiate them or state which is used for what.
tqt3 is to TDE as Qt is to KDE - a foundation. tqt3 is also a compatibility layer designed to make it easier for TDE to work with each new version of Qt that comes down the 'pike.
kdevelop for KDE, tdevelop-trinity for TDE, tqt3-designer for tqt3, and qtcreator for Qt are all different development environments roughly equivalent to Microsoft Virtual Studio. Each development environment (aka IDE) can be used to develop for a variety of application frameworks and with a variety of programming languages.
Personally I prefer qtcreator for developing C++ applications even though my applications don't use Qt.
