I, too, am one of those list lurkers looking for interesting information and discussions on Qt, but all too often I instead see posts from one unpleasant person repeatedly dominating discussions with belligerent, non-productive rantings. I wonder why he even uses Qt or even spends time thinking about it.
Given that there is at least one large development company in the US making money off using Qt on medical devices, among others, I think that this one difficult person is definitely not the sole fountain of knowledge on the subject and should not be given more credence than necessary. If Qt has short-comings in the medical device realm, constructive discussion would bring more than infantile rants. He would have done better to convince the Qt Company to hire him on as a consultant to improve their technology for use on medical devices, as that seems to be something the company wants to be successful in. Instead, I would not want to go anywhere near the guy I have experienced Giuseppe D'Angelo as a fabulous, caring instructor and am sorry to see him leave this discussion. All of us are the poorer because of it. If any person's postings on this list (or really in any context) are causing excellent contributors like Giuseppe to leave, then that is a very good indication that that person needs to be removed from the list.
