I think it isn't OK to attack a work of other people for its mere existence. QML has large user audience which likes it and makes beautiful applications with it, and at the same time nobody is planning to kill Widgets anymore. >Nokia started that concept > which explains why they are non-existent in the phone market today.

There are many devices having under 80M of RAM available for applications, and, thanks to Qt, it's possible to develop apps for them as well ;) [snip] > > Over the past 5 months I have seen at least 3 C++ OpenGL reqs in my > inbox for every C++ Qt req.
