QT is C++, but you can write your code in C and just use the various
classes to get GUI widgets. I really don't see why someone that knows
C would have a problem with C++. I find some aspects of C++ irritating
compared to Java, C#, Python, etc.. But it's far from "unsuitable for
use". I can write both good and bad code in most any language. And
there is nothing saying you have to write your apps in C++. Whatever,
it's your money and your time, do what you want with it. I just find
it an odd thing to be so irritated about.
C++ is difficult to link against, so that limits the languages that you
can use for development. For instance, D has a hard time with linking
to C++ (or did last I checked). C, on the other hand is far simpler to
link to. That's why many standard APIs use C interfaces - OpenGL for
instance.
