Even if your theory is right on.
Style sheets and widgets seem to be trial-and-error. This is one of the issues that keep me from using QML. Similar to using style sheets used with QWidgets, QML development seems to be trial-and-error. With QML development I spend much time searching for magical QML source code examples to cut & copy some source snippets. I finally get it to look nice on OS X, then I run on iOS and maybe it looks nice or maybe it does not. Then I move on to testing on Android and some missing dependency prevents it from even executing. I am not saying QWidgets looks better on mobile devices than QML but perhaps they are more predictable. > > I use C++ because I want a strongly typed language which complains during > compilation over a large class of mistakes.

While I appreciate the more-native look of QML, it seems that each time I attempt to start using it I get a bit closer to adopting it, however, I always end up reverting back to to my old-school QWidgets. I need to take a a day or two of QML training. I appreciate my compiler complaints. Full-blown -Wall, turn on every-added warning I can find, always enable -Werror so I do not get lazy and start ignoring the noise. -Ed > > Bill > >> I'd love to see this crap removed from Qt in Qt 6 completely.
